One of the greatest challenges of virtually every family business is sustaining and growing the business as business leadership passes through generations of the family. Family cohesion can be a great strength – but that cohesiveness is often fragile and can easily descend into family discord and dispute that threatens the business. It often begins with who will succeed the founder of the business – a family member or a professional? Who will oversee the family’s wealth? If it’s a professional fiduciary, how does the fiduciary mange its legal obligations when the family business is held in a trust? These and many other questions will be addressed in this teleseminar covering the interrelationship of the family dynamic, governance of the family business to avoid disputes, and real-world fiduciary liability issues.
