“Two things can go wrong in a family business: the family and the business. Both need to be kept in order”

Leonard Lauder, former CEO Estee Lauder

When things go well in a family business, both the family and the business prosper. When things go badly – as we’ve seen in our professional practice and have witnessed from personal experience – the effects can be catastrophic, both for family relationships and the long-term prospects of the business.

We work as a partnership, our respective skills ensuring that equal attention is paid to the family system and the business dynamics.

We work with families and their advisers to create a vision for the future of the business and to find a way through the relational challenges.
