Family Business

The vital economic role played by family business is particularly evident in those markets where many family-controlled companies have attained significant size and influence. While the challenges faced by family businesses are similar around the world – maintaining stability over the long term, upholding the values of the founder, transferring ownership from one generation to the next, and leadership succession planning – local solutions vary depending on legal, structural and cultural factors.

We have decades of experience as trusted advisers to family-controlled and family-influenced companies across multiple industry sectors.
