Generational transition: business continuity, value protection and growth

A generational transition is not just “succession”: it is a strategic choice shaping your company’s future. Success requires clear rules, solid numbers and a shared path. We work with founders and next-gen leaders to align people, assets and industrial goals, preventing conflict and speeding up decisions.

What we do
  • Listening and mapping: family roles and expectations, corporate/asset structure, existing by-laws and shareholders’ agreements, cash flows and banking covenants (protective clauses).
 
  • Governance that works: boards and (family) councils, voting rules, entry/exit criteria, dividend and reinvestment policies, merit-based roles and accountability.
 
  • Tailored legal tools: Trusts (long-term protection and asset segregation); Family agreements (Italy’s patto di famiglia, orderly transfer of business/shares balancing heirs); Family holding companies (a strategic hub for control and consistent planning).
 
  • Extraordinary transactions when they unlock the transition: contributions, spin-offs, equity reshaping, mergers and acquisitions (M&A); updated by-laws and agreements to avoid friction.
 
  • Business plans: plans and scenarios with KPIs to test tax/financial sustainability, including banking and investor impacts.

What you get
An integrated plan: initial mapping, motivated legal options, financial simulations, updated governance (by-laws/agreements), a transaction plan where useful, and hands-on execution. Clear language, operational documents, reliable timelines.
