How a Consulting Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Share Purchase Agreement in California

In 2023, a business in California sought assistance with the review of a share purchase agreement as it considered investing in new venture companies. The client, an information security consultant operating through a consultancy, needed guidance on the potential risks and benefits associated with the investment, particularly regarding any liabilities that could arise and critical questions to ask before moving forward. With an uncertain investment path, the client aimed to ensure that all necessary precautions were in place ahead of receiving the agreement. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $500 to $1,450, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of less than one week.
