Succession Planning
and Dissolution

Every successful business owner has to deal with the subject of succession planning sooner or later. Who will take the reins when you leave? In business succession planning, time is either your ally or your enemy. You can spend time planning for succession during your active business lifetime, or postpone planning and wait until the more chaotic, uncertain, and expensive succession planning that typically occurs after a life-changing event or post-mortem when the choice is no longer yours. Think that succession planning is just a matter of selling your business? Think again. Finding a willing and able buyer for any business is rarely just a matter of hanging up a "for sale" sign.

Our attorneys have worked with a wide range of businesses, including family-owned enterprises, to plan for succession or sale. We can help you strategically position your business to maximize its value and ensure a smooth transition during ownership changes.
