Private Clients Group: Business Succession Planning

Cummings & Lockwood lawyers have broad and extensive experience in devising succession planning strategies for owners of privately held businesses on the cusp of a generational change. Businesses served by this group include not only traditional operating businesses, but also family investment partnerships and even large family foundations.  The Succession Planning Group:

  • Develops tax-efficient strategies for transferring ownership and control through family generations;
  • Plans for harmonious transitions of the business either during the owner’s lifetime or at death;
  • Assists owners of operating businesses in the sale of the business, if appropriate, and/or the conversion of an operating business into an investment-oriented family office.
