This can be done, for example, by setting up certification structures, establishing voting rights or making agreements on the transfer of shares.

Although our primary focus is on preventing conflicts, they can never be completely ruled out. When they do arise, we help find solutions that harm the family and the business as little as possible. Our experience shows that mediation is often more effective than legal proceedings.
We think with you about the long term. How do you ensure that the company remains successful in future generations? What structures are needed to enable growth without losing sight of family values? How do you involve the next generation in the business?
For family businesses with international operations, we offer specific expertise in structuring foreign operations and arranging succession across national borders.
