At Ligon Business & Estate Law, my main service revolves around business succession planning. I understand that planning for the future of your business is essential to ensure its continued success, protect your interests, and provide a smooth transition of ownership and management. I specialize in developing comprehensive business succession plans tailored to your unique circumstances and objectives.

Here’s how I approach business succession planning: 

1. Comprehensive Assessment: I begin by gaining a thorough understanding of your business, its structure, and your long-term goals. I assess your current ownership and management structure, evaluate key personnel, identify potential successors, and review your financials and legal documents.
2. Goal Setting: I will work closely with you to define your objectives for the succession plan. Whether your goal is to keep the business within the family, sell to a key employee, or explore other options, I ensure that your plan aligns with your vision and aspirations.
3. Successor Development: Identifying and preparing capable successors is crucial to a successful transition. I assist in evaluating potential candidates, assessing their skills and readiness, and developing training and development plans to groom them for future leadership roles. This may involve implementing mentorship programs, providing professional development opportunities, and incentivizing key employees.
4. Ownership and Management Transitions: I can guide you through the complex process of transferring ownership and management. Plus, I will help you structure the transfer of shares or assets, address tax implications, and establish clear guidelines for decision-making and management responsibilities. I also develop contingency plans to handle unforeseen events, ensuring business continuity in case of disability, sudden death, or other unexpected circumstances.
5. Legal and Financial Considerations: I ensure that all legal and financial aspects of your succession plan are addressed. I review and update key legal documents, such as shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, and operating agreements, to reflect the changes in ownership and management. I also collaborate with financial advisors to structure the plan in a tax-efficient manner, minimize potential liabilities, and maximize the financial benefits for all parties involved.
6. Regular Plan Review and Updates: Business circumstances evolve over time, so it’s essential to regularly review and update your succession plan. I will work with you to monitor changes in your business, update the plan accordingly, and ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness.
