Corporation, as a typical style of modern enterprises, plays an important role in the system of globalization market economy.  The gradually supplemented and improved corporation law is a key point to the corporate policy.  In the current corporate law of China, there are only two types of legal entities, limited shares corporation and limited liability company (LLC for short later), are permitted to be established.  Since joint-stock corporation with limited liability is set up by principle of charter, LLC has become the most popular form of legal entities.  As a result , the amount of LLC increases tremendously.  Meanwhile, the problems of share transfer in LLC, which are caused by the civil juristic act or other reasons and causes, have become widespread in the present commercial legal system.  The transfer of the shareholder's capital of LLC is also called the transfer of the stock rights.  The liberty of the stock rights' transfer is the universally basic principle in the company law among many nations, there is, however, an exception on this liberty of the transfer especially for LLC.  Under the existing legal system, the shareholders must not draw back their investment except for transferring their stock right.  So the transfer of stock has become the only choice of limited company shareholders.  As company law, how to design a kind of mechanism is very necessary concerning effective protection for the legitimate rights of companies and interests of assignor, assignee and other shareholders directly. The paper is composed of two major parts, which expound the subject matters in details from the different perspectives.  The first part of the paper concerns with the origins of limited liability company, development tracks of the LLC in western countries, and comparative studies of LLC in both continental law and maritime law.  Through the study in this part, it is fully revealed that the creation of LLC is the result of the long-standing commercial experience and legislative efforts of human beings, which has been under the constant expansion since the date of its forming. The second part of the paper deals with the core area of Chinese current "company laws", in which they have made the clear regulation to the shareholder of limited company, there are, however, many areas still need to be improved.  In view of this, I will combine the regulations of company laws with other countries and region for differentiating and analyzing the concept, then researching the theory and practice of stock transfer of the shareholders of limited liability company, including but not limited: (1)Shareholders transfer of shares towards any person outside of LLC; (2)Transfer of shares between shareholders; (3)Special transfer of shares; (4)Transfer of shares in the form of formalities. The research of this paper aims at seeking the answer to accounting for aforementioned problems from the aspect of the law, and has put forward my own opinion in improving China's relevant legal system.
