How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Restricted Stock Agreement in Georgia

In 2022, a personal client in Georgia sought assistance with reviewing a restricted stock agreement related to their role as Chief Operating Officer and existing minority shareholder in an S Corporation. The client wanted to ensure a thorough understanding of the agreements they had signed, especially in light of potential liquidity events on the horizon. Additionally, they were considering a possible transfer of their shares to a Limited Partnership based on tax advice received, and requested guidance on this matter as they weighed their options. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $1,000 to $1,250, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of one week.
