Winthrop attorneys help business owners develop succession plans for the future transfers of their closely-held businesses. We work with each client to determine their unique goals, objectives, and timelines. We develop strategies and implement plans to address ownership, control, management, key employees, family dynamics, and taxes. Whether you plan for your business to stay in the family for generations or you are already preparing to sell your business, a thoughtfully developed business succession plan will help you achieve your goals.
