Entered by: Conor McAuley

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Finance (general) / Sale of whole company / all of shares
French term or phrase: droit de cession totale
"...ce pacte qui stipule les clauses habituelles (gouvernance de la société, droit de cession totale, obligation de sortie, clause de liquidité, engagement de non-concurrence etc..)."

Pacte d'actionnaires / shareholders' agreement.

I can't get the wording standard on this one.

Thanks.

right to sell/transfer all shares
Explanation:
In the absence of any standard set expression, is there any reason not to simply say 'right to sell/transfer all shares'?

(Note that 'cession' strictly means transfer, though in practice it usually implies sale. For a belt-and-braces approach, use both.)

Note to asker: you're looking in vain, since there is no standard set expression. if you really must use 'assign' (which I would seriously question), use 'right to assign all shares'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The problems are that I'm looking for a standard set expression and that I have "cession" as "assignment"... Thanks anyway.

Asker: That's a good solution, thanks, I will use it probably.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: If this is an assignment clause, then given the reference to clause, it may be sufficient to add "assigment clause" or perhaps "full disposal rights", "disposal" being a term that covers assignment, sale, transfer, etc.

assigment clause ; full disposal rights


Explanation:
Two suggestions : if this is the title of a clause, then you may find "assignment clause" helpful. Lots of Ghits for that term, which is standard enough. Examples :
https://www.blakemorgan.co.uk/training-knowledge/guides/comm...
http://uk.practicallaw.com/2-200-8871
http://www.shoosmiths.co.uk/client-resources/legal-updates/r...
http://www.guildhallchambers.co.uk/files/Assignments_of_Clai...
https://www.contractstandards.com/clauses/assignment
http://www.oncontracts.com/assignment-provisions/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_(law)
http://www.mondaq.com/australia/x/324350/Contract Law/Assign...

If this is in fact reference to an assignment clause, then "right to assign all shares" may work, as may "right to total assignment". However, I cannot find a whole ton of "droit de cession totale". In fact, I find "cession totale" usually in the type of situation described here : http://www.dictionnaire-juridique.com/definition/plan-de-ces...

It might be worth bearing in mind that "cession" is not alwyas used to mean assignment. It is also used to mean "sale, transfer", both of which can be more generally rendered by the term "disposal", which is also wide enough to include "assign".

The question is what the term "cession" means here. Is there an "assignment clause"? Or it is more general, and thus perhaps bettere rendered by "disposal"? Perhaps further on in the source text, you have sufficient pointers to clear that up. Perhaps not.

Asker: Thanks for all your research Nikki! I will need to look more closely into the shades of meaning between assignment, transfer, etc.
