Time for a new shareholder? Let’s see what’s involved...
Often people think that being the vendor selling shares, there is not much for them to do. However, we know that every scenario upon which shares are being sold is different, where bringing in new blood comes with new circumstances. Our job as your lawyer is to make sure that such a transition is good for you whether you’re fully exiting or staying on in the business.
