Succession consulting
We ensure development and implementation of succession processes. In cooperation with partners from the field of economy and management, we prepare individualized Succession Reports containing relevant succession instructions. As part of the solutions proposed, we provide comprehensive handling of the intergenerational transfer of assets, including the legal, tax, business and economic aspects.
We propose the solutions adjusted to the Client’s needs, his/her family situation and nature of the assets to be the subject of succession.
We are actively engaged in the initiatives supporting the idea of family businesses and in the works of teams developing legal solutions adjusted and dedicated to this type of entities.
We participate in the works of the Family Business Council of the Polish Confederation of Private Employers (PKPP) Lewiatan.
