Continuity in business and the organization of assets rarely come down to a single document. In practice, they are long-term processes involving ownership, family, and organizational relationships, as well as the management and control of the company and its assets. A lack of prior decisions or procrastination often leads to tensions and differing expectations between generations, which, in the long term, can impede the stable growth of the business.
Working on succession means designing solutions that structure ownership and decision-making principles for the long term. We create frameworks that allow for the gradual transfer of control over the company and asset management, including the use of family foundations. It is essential for us to align the chosen solutions with the actual operation of the company, ensuring that the succession structures are operational and not just formal.
