Family Business Advisory Services

Business advisory services have been part of our core offerings since our founding in 1935. We work in collaboration with a family's existing team of advisors to provide strategic counsel on such issues as business succession planning, business sales oversight, and maximizing closely held private assets.

 

We help families by:

  • Preparing plans in advance
  • Coordinating advisors
  • Establishing an exit plan
  • Preparing for transitions
  • Setting investment goals and objectives
  • Investing in a diverse set of traditional or alternative asset classes

 

We also have extensive experience working with families on preparing future leadership through multi-generational succession planning, planning for multi-generational wealth transfer, family governance, and the use of philanthropic vehicles to help meet these goals.
