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.

Common Sections in Stock Redemption Agreements

Below is a list of common sections included in Stock Redemption Agreements. These sections are linked to the below sample agreement for you to explore.

I help business owners, founders, employers, athletes, creators and families get contracts and legal documents done right the first time, at a flat fee agreed before any work starts. I am licensed in Florida (2021) and Washington, D.C. (2022). I practice as a business and contracts attorney and outside general counsel with Amethyst Law Group, and previously served as Florida Managing Attorney at Lento Law Group. Before that I sat on the business side of the table as General Manager and General Counsel of a professional basketball organization and as Deputy Commissioner of a start-up sports league, so I have negotiated, drafted and enforced the same agreements I now prepare and review for clients: sponsorship and vendor deals, player, coaching and staff contracts, employment and independent contractor agreements, licensing and brand deals. What I handle on ContractsCounsel: - Contract drafting, review and redlining: service agreements, MSAs, NDAs, vendor and supplier agreements, sponsorship, licensing, endorsement and brand deals - Business formation and governance: LLCs and corporations, operating agreements, bylaws, partnership and shareholder agreements, founder and equity arrangements - Employment and hiring: offer letters, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, separation and severance agreements, handbooks and policies - Sports, entertainment and creator agreements: athlete representation, NIL, sponsorship, appearance, management and agency agreements (licensed FIBA agent) - Real estate: purchase and sale agreements, residential and commercial leases, contract review before you sign - Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and estate planning documents - Demand letters, cease and desist letters and pre-dispute contract enforcement - Ongoing outside general counsel support for small and growing businesses How I work: Every project starts with a fixed price and a delivery date you can plan around. You receive a plain-English summary of what the document does, what I changed and why, and any risks you should know about, not just a marked-up file. Two rounds of revisions are included so the final draft is exactly what you need, and I respond to messages the same business day. Credentials: J.D., Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law, summa cum laude, top 5% of class, Senior Editor of the Southern Journal of Policy and Justice, Dean's Certificate of Professionalism, 300+ pro bono hours; M.S.

I’m a real estate and tax attorney focused on helping property owners, investors, and businesses navigate the legal and financial sides of real estate. At Relias Law Group, I work on everything from tax assessment appeals to real estate closings and pre-acquisition due diligence. My goal is always the same: make sure clients are protected, well-informed, and getting the most out of their investments. Before this chapter of my career, I spent years in corporate law and litigation, handling deals, disputes, and everything in between. That experience gave me a strong foundation in business law and a good sense of how to get things done practically, not just legally. Along the way, I got interested in how law firms actually work — and more importantly, how they can work better. I’ve helped build and lead legal innovation efforts, introduced new tech and workflows, and worked hands-on with law firms and legal tech companies to modernize how we deliver legal services. I like solving problems, building systems, and making the legal process smoother for everyone involved. Outside of work, I’m a proud dad, lifelong learner, and occasional sailor who believes law should be as human-centered and forward-thinking as the people it serves.

Before law school I built the contract management system for a publicly traded medical device company — so I read your agreement the way the people who have to live with it will, not just the way a court would. I draft and review business contracts on a fixed fee, with the delivery date agreed before I start. You get the redlined document plus a short written summary of what I changed, why it matters, and what I'd push back on if the other side objects. Revisions are included — I'd rather get the document right than count rounds. NDAs, MSAs and SOWs, contractor and employment agreements, SaaS terms, terms of service and privacy policies, operating agreements, vendor and construction contracts, and full contract review with a plain-English risk summary. Send me the document and what you're trying to accomplish with it, and I'll come back with a fixed fee and a date.
