Selling and Buying Shares
As your company grows and expands, this growth can be funded by increasing the share capital and the issuing of more shares.
Alternatively your company may decide to merge with a competitor. This usually results in the acquisition of shares in the competing company. This can appear as a complex transaction and our specialist legal team at Ashton Morton Slack can assist.
The sale and purchase of shares can also be triggered by a shareholder dispute. It may be that you are a minority shareholder of a freight company, for example, who wants to know your options or you may be a majority shareholder who wants to buy out the minority shareholder. Ashton Morton Slack can assist in the drafting of the agreements associated with such transaction, namely a Share Purchase Agreement.
