Company shares, will I lose them ?

    Hi all,

    Quick question if you don't mind.

    I joined a company three years ago and as part of the package, I was given 10% of the business. I am thinking of leaving the business and moving on and I am wondering how I would find out if I will lose my shares or keep them even when I am gone. I have all the documentation electronically and I was thinking of engaging with a solicitor ( not even sure which type of solicitor I should be seeking) or someone similar but don't want it to be a costly exercise, I am sure that someone with legal experience would know very quickly where I stand after reviewing the documents. Any thoughts?

    Find out from the company?

    How the heck would anyone else know

    You need legal advice which cannot be given here.
    Any general practice/commercial solicitor should be able to deal with this
    Check if there was a shareholders' agreement

    Legal documents aren't written in some foreign language. It's overly formal and specific, sure. And can contain nuances that a layperson might miss.

    But in the broadest sense if you're competent enough to have been given 10% of the company, then you're probably capable of reading these documents yourself and making a decision as to whether you need further assistance.

    If you do, then get a solicitor.
