What is a Stock Redemption Agreement?
A stock redemption agreement is a common type of buy/sell agreement that a stockholder initiates when wanting to sell their interest in a company. Stock-redemption agreements can require a departing stockholder to be compensated by the remaining members of the company.
As a company grows, it may use a stock redemption agreement to formalize how the company handles departing stockholders. These agreements are best used in businesses where each share is equal. Stock-redemption agreements are designed to prevent shareholders who quit the company from claiming assets. They can also be used to encourage shareholders to stay.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
