The Legal Risk Score of a Share Sale Agreement (Long Form) Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The warranties provided by the Sale Shareholder are extensive and detailed, which could expose the Sale Shareholder to significant liability if any information is inaccurately represented or undisclosed.
- The agreement does not limit the monetary value or time frame of the warranties, potentially leading to prolonged and costly liabilities for the Sale Shareholder beyond the usual business risks.
- The share transfer must be properly executed, which requires administrative work from both parties and the company.
Users familiar with share sale agreements may find the document's structure and terms standard, but should be cautious of the potential long-term liabilities and the depth of due diligence required.
