The share transfer agreement is a legal document which regulates the transfer of shares between shareholders in a company in a particular location or situation. It serves as a legally binding contract that establishes the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved in the share transfer process.
Many people wonder whether it is possible to write their own shareholders' agreement or whether a solicitor is required. We believe that it is quite possible to draw it yourself, provided that you use a good template as a basis (such as our own).
The assignor must agree to assign their rights and duties under the contract to the assignee. The assignee must agree to accept, or "assume," those contractual rights and duties. The other party to the initial contract must consent to the transfer of rights and obligations to the assignee.
