A stock purchase agreement is a contract for buying shares in a company, setting terms for price, reps, and closing conditions. It helps protect both sides by detailing responsibilities and remedies if issues arise.
A stock purchase transfers ownership of shares; an asset purchase transfers specific assets and liabilities. Each structure has different tax and liability implications that we clarify in the agreement.
If a representation is incorrect, remedies may include indemnification, adjustment of price, or in some cases termination. The agreement outlines the steps to pursue these remedies.
Typically a business attorney, financial advisor, or in-house counsel reviews stock purchase agreements to ensure accuracy and alignment with goals.
