Buying in or cashing out? Let’s make it smooth, strategic, and legally sound.

Whether you're selling your ownership in a company, acquiring equity from another partner, or onboarding a new investor, equity transactions require careful planning, clear documentation, and legal compliance. Unlike asset sales, these deals transfer ownership in the business itself—which affects voting rights, profit distribution, liabilities, and control.

At Auxo Law, we handle the legal structure and documents behind these transactions to ensure your rights—and your risks—are clearly defined.

Common Situations We Help With:

• Founder or partner buyouts

• Selling equity to outside investors or strategic partners

• Buying into a company as a new owner

• Exiting a company while preserving relationships and limiting liability

• Family business succession planning through equity transfers

• Transferring membership interests in an LLC or shares in a corporation

Our Services Include:

• Stock Purchase Agreements (SPAs) – For corporations

• Membership Interest Purchase Agreements (MIPAs) – For LLCs

• Transfer and assignment documentation – To ensure compliance with governing documents and state law

• Review of governing documents – Operating Agreements, Shareholder Agreements, Bylaws, and Buy-Sell Agreements

• Coordination with CPAs and financial advisors – For valuation, tax structuring, and capital gains considerations

• Post-transfer updates – Corporate records, state filings, and equity ledgers

Why It Matters:

• Equity transactions often trigger rights of first refusal, drag-along/tag-along rights, and tax obligations—we help you navigate them

• Ambiguous or incomplete agreements can lead to disputes between partners, missed liabilities, or ownership challenges

• These deals affect voting rights, distributions, management control, and exit strategies—getting them right protects everyone involved
