Philanthropic goals
We understand the interests of the various stakeholders as the business evolves from the founder making all the business decisions to bringing in more family members and establishing more structure as the business grows and becomes more successful.
Our lawyers are experienced in organizing philanthropy through both family and business vehicles, such as trusts, private foundations and corporate giving programs. We take a holistic approach in helping families to achieve their goals as a unifying means of expressing the family’s ethical values and beliefs.
