Advice on succession of family businesses:

Comprehensive advice on securing business continuity and business control. Family businesses belong to a special group of our clients whom we assist in decision-making processes regarding the future of their firms and forms it may take.

In this scope we advise how to:

  • transform an operating business into a secure legal entity (transformation of a sole proprietorship into a limited liability company or other commercial law structures)
  • secure the continuity and stability of a family firm – through setting out proper provisions in company agreements and testamentary provisions,
  • limit the risk of conducting a business and separate it from individual assets,
  • restructure a business through transformation and certain asset divisions to maintain real estate components outside the risk of business,
  • prepare a family business for sale as an alternative to succession or a natural continuation.
