Mergers & Acquisitions

While it’s often said that businesses need to grow in order to survive, sometimes that growth comes in the form of acquisitions- and can even give multiple family members leadership opportunities.  Sometimes family members enter the business with differing interests and the family is able to fund a new enterprise to meet them. And sometimes the sale of the family or closely held business is simply the correct move for family harmony or wealth diversification issues.

Some of what we help clients do:

  • “When I was contemplating the purchase of another family owned business, I immediately enlisted Paul’s services. I knew that Paul’s sensitivity and experience, in understanding the dynamics of families in business would be invaluable in helping to defray the angst and emotion, which was sure to play a role in any potential transaction.”
