Having a lawyer write a letter shouldn’t cost more than $1000 or so. I guess the shares are worth more than that?

The end goal is not to go to court, of course.

Yeah people overestimate the costs of a lawyer to help navigate beaurocracy. $1000 bucks can get you really far.

They also underestimate the cost of trials, which is $100k+ for anything serious due to discovery.
