Company succession is not an M&A deal like any other
Holistic succession planning must consider much more than just its legal aspects.
Company succession has many facets and interests both inside and outside of the family. We will introduce you to the options that best fit your interests.
For a smooth transition, it is usually not a “quick deal” that is the best alternative, but a step-by-step approach that takes into account the interests of all important stakeholders.
