This is a great platform, extremely affordable and a simple process. The service could not be more efficient. Thank you Shanti!
I found Legal Zebra absolutely great. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.
Being a solicitor originally, I can appreciate it when documents are clear and user friendly, especially very important, complex legal agreements.
This is a very well thought out agreement and, like all of Legal Zebra’s documents, it's great for everyday people and the legally trained alike.
Highly recommended.

We want to make sure the new Shareholders is bound by our Company's Shareholders Agreement. We need a simple document to bind them.
We already have a Shareholders Agreement in place. We want to get a new Shareholder to accept this Agreement. However, we don't want to have all of the Shareholders re-sign the Agreement. We just want to add the new Shareholder to the existing Agreement. We want a simple Deed of Accession to record this.
