How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Buy Sell Agreement in Hawaii

In 2023, a family business in Hawaii posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a buy-sell agreement. The client sought to address ongoing issues with their existing operating agreement, which failed to adequately outline dispute resolution and required unanimous consent for decision-making, leading to conflicts among the owners. After a recent verbal agreement among family members regarding ownership transfer to the client’s nephew, they needed legal guidance to ensure appropriate terms for rights of refusal if future sales occurred. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $899 to $2,750, all tailored to meet the client's requested timeline of over a week for completion.
