The Legal Risk Score of a Share Sale Agreement Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- There is a risk associated with the seller’s ownership and the status of the shares, as the document assumes that the shares are free from any encumbrances or third-party claims, which might not always be the case in reality.
- The confidentiality clause restricts both parties from disclosing terms of the agreement, which might limit the ability to seek broader advice or share details with stakeholders not party to the agreement.
- The share transfer must be properly executed, which requires administrative work from both parties and the company.
