Question 1

What does a custom Sale of Shares Agreement include?

Accepted Answer

Your custom Share Purchase Agreement will include:

• Share transfer mechanics and consideration structure (cash, shares, earn-outs)
• Warranties and disclosure letter framework
• Conditions precedent for completion
• Restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicitation)
• Limitation of liability and indemnities
• Completion arrangements and post-completion obligations
• Tax covenants and allocation
• Governing law and dispute resolution

Each section is tailored specifically to your transaction structure, shareholding, and commercial terms.

Question 2

How quickly will I receive my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days from when you complete our detailed questionnaire. Express delivery (1 business day) is available for 50% more.

After checkout, we'll email you a questionnaire about the company, shareholding structure, consideration, warranties scope, and any conditions precedent. Once you return it, our Australian lawyers begin drafting your agreement.

Question 3

Who drafts the Sale of Shares Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement is drafted by licensed Australian lawyers with experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate transactions, and share sales.

All our lawyers are admitted to practice in Australia and have worked on numerous share purchase transactions across various industries and deal sizes.

Question 4

How does the information gathering process work?

Accepted Answer

We use an AI-powered questionnaire that adapts to your answers. After checkout, you'll receive an email with a link to the questionnaire.

It covers:
• Company details and shareholding structure
• Buyer and seller information
• Consideration mechanics (price, earn-outs, adjustments)
• Warranties and disclosures required
• Conditions precedent and completion timeline
• Restrictive covenants needed
• Any special provisions

Most clients complete it in 15-20 minutes. The AI flags any areas that need clarification before drafting begins.

Question 5

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Accepted Answer

One comprehensive round of amendments is included in the price. This typically covers all reasonable changes based on your review or feedback from the other party.

For complex transactions requiring multiple negotiation rounds, we offer additional amendment services at competitive rates.

Question 6

Can I consult with the lawyer who drafts my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While the base price includes drafting and one round of amendments, you can add a 30-minute phone/video consultation with your drafting lawyer for an additional fee.

This is valuable for discussing strategy, explaining specific clauses, or working through complex provisions like earn-outs or warranty limitations.

Question 7

What makes this different from a template?

Accepted Answer

Templates are generic and often miss transaction-specific provisions that protect your interests.

Your custom agreement:
• Reflects your actual deal structure and commercial terms
• Includes tailored warranties based on due diligence findings
• Contains appropriate limitation of liability for your risk profile
• Has conditions precedent that match your transaction timeline
• Uses clear, plain-English drafting rather than archaic legal jargon
• Is reviewed by a qualified Australian lawyer before delivery

A template might save money upfront but often creates costly problems during negotiation or completion.

Question 8

Do you cover both partial and full share sales?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer two packages:

• Sale of Some Shares (A$900): For partial share transfers where the seller retains ownership
• Sale of All Shares (A$1,800): For complete acquisition of all company shares

The 'Sale of All Shares' package includes more comprehensive provisions for total ownership change, including provisions for key personnel, existing contracts, and business continuity.

Question 9

What about warranties and the disclosure process?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement will include:

• A comprehensive but balanced set of warranties appropriate to your transaction
• A disclosure letter framework for the seller to disclose against warranties
• Clear limitation of liability provisions (caps, time limits, de minimis thresholds)
• Process for qualifying warranties through disclosure

We help you strike the right balance between buyer protection and seller risk management based on whether it's an arm's length sale or a management buyout.

Question 10

Does the agreement comply with Australian law?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every agreement is drafted in accordance with Australian corporate law, including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Australian tax law requirements, and Australian common law principles.

We also incorporate relevant state-based requirements and ensure compliance with ASIC regulations for share transfers.

Question 11

What if we need to amend the agreement later?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement will include an amendment clause specifying how changes must be documented (typically in writing, signed by both parties).

If you need to amend the agreement after completion, we can assist with drafting a formal deed of amendment or variation for an additional fee.

Question 12

What happens after I receive the agreement?

Accepted Answer

After delivery:

1. Review the draft and provide any feedback for amendments
2. We incorporate your changes and deliver the final version
3. You share it with the other party for their review
4. Once both parties agree, you execute the agreement
5. Complete the share transfer in accordance with the completion provisions

We can also provide guidance on the completion process, including share transfer forms and updating the share register.
