Creating a succession plan can be a divisive and complicated process. In the case of family businesses, emotions may run high when determining who will take on the vital roles in managing and owning your business. We work closely with our clients to develop a clear understanding of what they hope to accomplish with their business succession plan. Through careful preparation, we can help you design a plan to achieve your objectives in the best way possible.
Family Businesses
Building a successful business takes skill and commitment. Many business owners are justifiably proud of the work they have done to make their venture a success. In the case of family businesses, this pride and commitment can be passed from one generation to the next. Family businesses have many advantages, but they also present unique challenges that should be addressed carefully to avoid legal disputes and unnecessary expense.
A family limited partnership (FLP) is a form of business that has established estate planning and asset protection advantages. To realize those advantages, you must structure and operate your business properly. Our experienced lawyers can help you meet the legal requirements of an FLP, while positioning your business for success. We have the knowledge of business, finance, estate planning and taxation law to help you manage your family business properly. Depending on the nature of your business, an FLP may not offer the protection you need. Family-owned businesses are as unique as the families who own and operate them. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.
