Family Business “Divorce” Webinar

Peter Mahler will be the presenter at this webinar.

The majority of U.S. businesses are family-owned or controlled, ranging from small, mom-and-pop stores to large, multi-national corporations. Family ownership yields important advantages to businesses, but can and often does lead to unique problems if and when relations between family members turn bitter and lead to “business divorce” litigation, such as proceedings for involuntary dissolution and dissenting shareholder appraisal. Lawyers and non-legal professionals involved in family business planning, estate planning, business appraisal and related conflict resolution will want to join this webinar to gain knowledge and understanding of “business divorce” basics including:
