Invaluable guidance for our family business transition

Bradley Frank provided exceptional counsel during our complex family business succession planning. His deep expertise in closely held companies, honed over 22 years, was immediately apparent. We were navigating a multi-generational transfer of ownership, requiring intricate buy/sell arrangements and trust structuring. Brad’s advice was both strategic and practical, clearly drawing from his recognized work in corporate and trusts & estates law. He patiently explained every option, negotiated skillfully on our behalf, and crafted airtight agreements that protected all family members. His professionalism from Barnes & Thornburg, combined with a personal understanding of family dynamics, made a stressful process manageable. The outcome was seamless, and our business is now positioned for future growth. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
