FAQ
What do you need from me to draft this?
I will need the names of the parties, the amount/percentage of equity being transferred, the purchase price, and your company's foundational documents (Bylaws/Operating Agreement).
What is a Mutual Release of Liability?
Included in the Standard and Premium packages, this prevents the buyer and seller from suing each other over past company actions after the transfer is complete.
Does this handle vesting schedules?
Yes, if the transferred equity is subject to vesting or reverse-vesting, I will explicitly detail those conditions in the Standard or Premium packages.
What if the buyer is paying over time?
The Premium package includes a custom Promissory Note to legally secure the payment schedule for the seller.
Do you draft for both LLCs and C-Corps?
Yes. I draft Membership Interest Transfer Agreements for LLCs, and Stock Purchase/Transfer Agreements for Corporations.
