Any decent law firm with a venture practice will be able to do this without any issues.
This will be a few hours of time for an associate at the firm -- basically to read the existing paperwork you have and then to draft up a transfer agreement. If you're lucky, the forms are all vanilla and they'll have a template on file.
I'd suggest you stay away from the large, white-shoe firms for this -- they will probably be too expensive. I'd use a mid-tier firm, and someone in an office that's not SF/NY. It depends on the firm, but the smaller-city offices tend to be cheaper and still may have a good understanding of securities transfers. You might be able to get someone to do the work in ~10 hours at $300-500/hour. Call a few firms and see if any seems like a fit. First 30min call to explain your situation should usually be free.
Finally, before you start getting the lawyers involved, you may want to contact your company and let them know, since they might be interested in exercising their ROFR. (That would then be a different set of paperwork to review.)
