William Blair Private Shares Trading

Step 1: William Blair receives offer from Seller, bid from Buyer, and facilitates negotiation of terms on client's behalf.
Step 2: William Blair facilitates Private Company approval.
Step 3: Once approved, Buyer transfers funds to Seller and Private Company transfers asset ownership to Buyer. The transaction is now complete.

The team offers a one-stop resource for both buyers and sellers of private shares, drawing on the depth and breadth of our comprehensive, award-winning research platform (both public and private companies). We believe the combination of these factors can provide clients with a competitive edge in the execution of buying or selling their private shares.
