We advise family owned businesses on family matters and on business matters. Family owned businesses have their own unique complexities. They need to understand and effectively manage the overlaps of three interrelated and dynamic systems: Family, Business and Ownership. As families in business transition from the founder-owner generation and become multi-generational their structures become more complex by nature of the growing number of family members, their expanded kinship with spouses, cousins and in-laws and their different personalities, interests and priorities in life and for the family business. Families who are serious about maintaining their legacy, long-term family unity and business continuity need to successfully manage these complexities on an ongoing basis.
