"5/5. Thorough, responsive, and precise. I hired Paul to review the legal side of a consumer app launch: terms of service, privacy policy, consent flows and outbound messaging compliance. He went well beyond reviewing documents. His biggest strength is attention to detail. He read our product the way it actually works, not the way we described it, and caught issues I would never have found myself: a jurisdiction question hidden inside a phone-number format, a consent step that was broader than it needed to be, and message wording that promised more than the system did. When facts changed, he re-checked the current law and revised his own earlier conclusions, rather than defending them. He was also remarkably responsive. Each revision came back quickly, reflected everything I had sent, and ended with a clear list of what was done and what remained. His final package gave me exactly what I needed to launch: finished documents, a short list of release conditions, and the reasoning behind each one. I'd hire him again without hesitation."

Acquisitions Legal Questions and Answers

Acquisitions

Lock-up Agreement

California

Asked on Jan 7, 2025

Can you explain the purpose and implications of a lock-up agreement in the context of a business acquisition?

I am currently in the process of selling my small business to a larger corporation. As part of the negotiations, the acquiring company has proposed including a lock-up agreement in the deal. While I have a general understanding that a lock-up agreement restricts the sale of shares for a specified period after the acquisition, I would like a more detailed explanation of its purpose and potential implications. Specifically, I would like to know how long the lock-up period typically lasts, whether there are any exceptions or conditions that may allow me to sell my shares before the lock-up period expires, and what potential risks or advantages I should consider before agreeing to such an arrangement.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 18, 2025

Entering into a lock-up agreement when selling your business can have significant implications. Depending on the complexity of the transaction, the lock-up period can range from a few months to over a year. A lock-up agreement may limit your ability to negotiate certain aspects of timing and terms. However, it can also help stabilize a potential acquisition and mitigate risk for the buyer. Being unable to sell your interest in the business during the lock-up period can impact liquidity and your ability to manage the tax effects of the eventual sale. Of course, the specific terms within the lock-up agreement will play a crucial role.
