Practitioners´ Network Seminar - The impact of family events such as death and divorce on family businesses

Welcome to the CeFEO Practitioners’ Network Seminar:

Date and time: March 9th from 16.00-17:00 via zoom: http://cefeo.se/cpn 

Dealing with Disruption: the case of death and divorce among owners

The loss or break-up of a family member is highly stressful for the family. Besides psychosocial effects, it necessitates financial and legal arrangements to formally separate an individual from a family unit. When an owner exits through death, divorce, or family conflict, his/her shares in the family business need to be transferred. This can lead to ownership changes, financial distress, conflicts, and more. This seminar will discuss enablers, tools, and considerations to help prepare business families for family disruptions.
