CALGARY SHARE TRANSACTION LAWYER

Undertaking the transfer of the company in its entirety, through the transference, acquisition or merger of company stock, is the basis for a share transaction. Acquiring a company's shares presents an inherent challenge not associated with asset purchases - the fact that the bad comes along along with good, such that all the liabilities (both known and unknown) are transferred to the purchaser through the stocks that are being sold. This presents many inherent challenges, which can be adddressed in part through the due diligence process and in the negotiation of the terms and conditions of the merger or acquisition agreement - operations from which parties will greatly benefit from the involvement of the appropriate corporate attorney.

Share purchases can be exceedingly challenging and complex, especially when they are allowed to become convoluted by alternate perspectives and interpretations of the transaction's form and objectives. This can make the process and/or the results exceedingly costly, especially where the lawyer fails to be capable of managing and navigating the process so as to effectively achieve the client's objectives. This is a critical element that is all too frequently in short supply, unless the lawyer has the capacity to understand business and transform theory into a workable and profitable reality.

To understand the value of retaining the services of an experienced share transaction lawyer when buying or selling shares, contact lawyer Christopher R. Neufeld at Chris@NeufeldLegal.com or 403-400-4092. There is far too much at stake to not get the appropriate legal counsel and thereby make wiser and more effective decisions when undertaking the purchase or sale of corporate stock.
