Our attorneys assist clients in establishing business succession plans to transfer ownership of a family-owned business to the next generation of family members, key employees, or unrelated third parties. We prepare buy/sell agreements, stock restriction agreements and purchase and sale agreements. We also design charitable-giving programs with the potential for tremendous tax benefits while offering much-needed support to the non-profit sector.
Ensuring that your business and assets will fall into the right hands with as little government interference as possible is a challenging task, and it only grows more complicated in relation to the size of the assets. When you are looking to establish an estate to pass on, or even give a gift in accordance to Illinois complex financial laws, you need a thorough financial attorney to do things right the first time.
