About this Gig
ESOP transactions (buyouts or secondary sales) are among the most scrutinized deals in the US.
As an attorney, I will review your transaction documents including Stock Purchase Agreements, ESOP Loan documents, and Trustee resolutions to identify legal risks.
I look for prohibited transaction issues, valuation compliance, and indemnity traps that could jeopardize the deal or invite DOL litigation.
Whether you are the selling shareholder or the company, having an independent legal review of the transaction suite is a vital step in your fiduciary due diligence.
Requirements:
- Upload the Draft Purchase Agreement and Loan Documents.
- Provide the valuation report (if available) for context.
- Identify your role in the transaction (Seller, Company, or Trustee).
Field of law:
Business (corporate)
•
International
