Soreide Law Group, PLLC
At Soreide Law Group, we help investors, shareholders, and publicly traded companies navigate the complex federal rules governing the resale of restricted or control securities. Our attorneys understand that clearing restrictive legends and ensuring compliance with Rule 144 or other resale exemptions can be time-sensitive and critical to protecting shareholder rights.
Our firm regularly issues Rule 144 legal opinions, Section 4(a)(1) opinions, and Regulation S opinions under the Securities Act of 1933. These legal opinions confirm that your shares qualify for lawful resale, helping you remove restrictive legends and complete compliant transactions.
Our Core Opinion Services
• Rule 144 Tradability Opinions
We assist shareholders in clearing restrictive legends from stock certificates or electronic shares. These opinions verify compliance with key Rule 144 conditions, such as the required holding period, affiliate status, and availability of current public information. Our Rule 144 opinions are frequently requested by brokers, transfer agents, and clearing firms before shares can be deposited or sold.
• Affiliate Sale Opinions
Affiliates and control persons who wish to sell company stock—whether restricted or unrestricted—must meet specific SEC resale requirements and limitations. We prepare tailored Rule 144 legal opinions confirming that all necessary conditions are satisfied, enabling lawful sales through brokerage accounts.
• Section 4(a)(1) Opinions
When Rule 144 is unavailable, particularly for non-reporting or former shell companies, we issue Section 4(a)(1) opinions verifying that the shareholder qualifies for an exemption under established securities law principles.
• Regulation S Opinions
For securities issued offshore to non-U.S. persons, we provide Regulation S opinions confirming compliance with the offshore transaction and resale requirements.
