How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Share Purchase Agreement in New York

In 2025, a business in New York sought assistance with a share purchase agreement regarding the acquisition of ownership in a restaurant. The client aimed to ensure the contract remained legally binding despite concerns about transitioning from an S corporation to a C corporation in the coming year. They were particularly interested in understanding the implications of this change and required guidance on how to navigate the terms of the agreement effectively. As a result, the client received nine proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,200, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
