    Description

    A client investment in an operating business, particularly a minority stake, is only as good as its liquidity rights. If a client cannot readily sell his or her ownership stake at fair market value, it has little real value.

    The key to ensuring liquidity is contractually creating a private market for the ownership stake. This market can come in the form of requiring other stakeholders, including the majority owner, to buy the minority stake at a mutually agreeable price, or creating other mechanisms for selling the stake to third parties. Without these contract rights, a stakeholder has no liquidity and is stuck.

    This program provides a practical to planning and drafting contractual liquidity rights in closely held companies.

    • Planning and drafting liquidity rights in closely held companies
    • Counseling clients about the limitations and risks of liquidity in closely held companies
    • Framework of alternatives for determining most appropriate liquidity rights
    • "Texas standoff" or "Russian roulette" – opportunities, risks and tradeoffs
    • Drafting "tag-along" and "drag-along" rights – practical uses and drawbacks
    • How to think about valuing closely held ownership stakes
