Family businesses
What are family businesses?
Family businesses are managed within the family and passed on from generation to generation. A strong relationship between all generations is essential. If your business is facing challenges such as succession planning, a sale, or family conflicts, it is best to be supported by an experienced team that can map out all these key considerations.
Our approach:
Our experts always aim for a sustainable solution that respects the interests of all family members and ensures the continuity of the business.
In practice? Illustrative cases:
CASE
Our team had the privilege of assisting a family with a successful business in transferring the company to the next generation. This transfer was not only an important step in preserving the family business, but also an opportunity to avoid high inheritance taxes in the event of death.
A crucial element in this case was defending the applicability of the favorable tax regime for family-owned companies before the tax authorities, enabling the parents to carry out a donation without gift tax.
In addition to securing tax certainty, we also supported the family in drafting the deed of gift and fulfilling all administrative formalities associated with the transfer of the business.
CASE
A family branch holding a minority stake in a family business was disadvantaged by the other family branches. The other branches colluded to prioritize their own interests at the expense of the company.
Through judicial mediation, we were able to achieve a buyout for the family quickly and efficiently, allowing them to exit the company in a fair manner.
