Business Succession Plan Attorneys Serving West Michigan and Beyond
It is crucial to have a comprehensive succession plan in place because, without one, the transition of the business after one's death can hinder the growth and financial success of the business, harming the business owner's heirs, partners and others.
We focus on tailoring succession plans to the unique objectives of businesses in order to allow for the smoothest transition possible. Having such a plan in place provides peace of mind for the business owners, their family and their employees.
Our succession planning services include negotiating and drafting buy-sell agreements, and creating family limited partnerships or limited liability companies (LLCs), depending on the needs and goals of the business.
