The Restrictive Covenants Shareholders Agreement is essential for Singapore companies seeking to protect their business interests from competition by their shareholders. This document becomes particularly relevant when shareholders have access to sensitive information, key client relationships, or trade secrets. Under Singapore law, such agreements must be carefully balanced to protect legitimate business interests while remaining reasonable and enforceable. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions on non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and employees, and confidentiality obligations, all structured to comply with Singapore's legal framework and common law principles.
