Every family business is unique, just like the people behind it. Family ties play a special role: the company and the family are inseparable. Loyalty and trust are the great strengths of family businesses.
Overcoming challenges together
Challenges arise from points of contention and emotional burdens that exist in every family. If these are brought into the company, there is a risk that development opportunities will be slowed down. Many family businesses are familiar with disputes that are ostensibly economic, entrepreneurial or strategic in nature, but have their root cause within the family. We support you in finding satisfactory solutions to emerging conflicts and regulations that codify the way family members deal with each other - without being immediately justiciable.
Family constitution as a guideline
One approach is a family constitution in which common goals, values and structures are defined within the family and in the relationship between the family members and the company. As your partner, we work together to develop a strategy that all those involved accept as binding. There are no one-size-fits-all answers.
Our experienced consultants support family businesses over several generations. They have experienced a wide variety of solutions to these issues in practice and have seen the advantages and disadvantages of different answers to this question in many families.
