Strategic legal counsel

for family business

A family business is a unique kind of business, because purely commercial considerations are moderated - sometimes enhanced and sometimes distorted -  by non-commercial considerations. 

I provide experienced counsel to family businesses. Among other matters, I can to help organize (or reorganize) a family business in such a way so as to:

1. •  Accommodate the demands of succession from one generation to another;
   

2. •  Avoid inequality or inequity in structuring relationships;
   

3. •  Maximize tax advantages in a practical way;
   

4. •  Respect the emotions and interpersonal dynamics that are often an important part of the process.
