This study aims at addressing the liability of the assignor of shares in a limited company regarding the hidden liabilities verified in the limited company after the acquisition of shares by the assignee. To this end, based on a broad conceptual framework of the proposed theme, our study was divided into three parts. Firstly, we present the core elements for the subsequent confrontation of the proposed problematic: the concepts of limited company and of social capital; the characteristics of the shares, a will that will be transferred from the assignor to the assignee; the legal transaction of the assignment of shares; the purchase price of shares; and the concept of hidden liabilities. Secondly, we approach the institutes provided by law that may possibly support the liability of the assignor’s liability by the hidden liabilities. In this perspective, we address the interpretation of Article 1,003, sole paragraph of the Brazilian Civil Code: the institutes of error, fraud and injury; the redhibitory defects; the possibility of annulment of the legal transaction; and the analogical application of Article 1,146 of the Brazilian Civil Code to the assignment of shares. Finally, in the last part, we address the contractual practices applied to characterize or even to prevent the assignor’s liability by the hidden liabilities. We approach the due diligence of the representations and warranties clauses included in the share assignment contract, as well as of the clauses included in the share assignment contract that deal expressly with the transferor's liability by the hidden liabilities
