A Succession Plan Blueprint for Family Businesses

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

I recently spoke at a seminar on the subject of buying and selling a business.  One of the most common reasons that sellers don’t get the price they want is that they wait until the last minute before they’re ready to sell.  That is, they wait until they’re burned out, bored … or dead (in which case, yes, it’s the estate holding the sale).  Particularly with service-based businesses, that’s a huge blow if the company is inextricably identified with the owner.

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
