partner or shareholder exit from an Iranian company
Exit from a company is not a single legal route with the same method for every company. In practice, transfer of shares or quota interests, capital reduction, or another mechanism suited to the company type and its documents may be relevant, and the consequences of prior liabilities must be assessed separately.

Exit from a company is not a single legal route with the same method for every company. In practice, transfer of shares or quota interests, capital reduction, or another mechanism suited to the company type and its documents may be relevant, and the consequences of prior liabilities must be assessed separately.
Important aspects of this matter
Point 1
The type of company and provisions of the articles of association concerning transfer or a member’s exit.
Point 2
The number of shares or size of the capital interest and the method of valuation
Point 3
The member’s debts, obligations, guarantees and outstanding accounts
Point 4
Minutes, Document of transfer and registration of changes in accordance with the selected method
Legal points and course of action
In a limited-liability company, transfer of a quota interest is subject to special formalities under the Iranian Commercial Code and is not the same as transfer of shares in a joint-stock company. The type of company and its capital structure must therefore be determined precisely before choosing an exit method.
In every case, compare the company’s current registration records, internal documents and actual events. Similar case labels do not mean that the relief sought, opposing party or legal outcome will be the same.
