Invaluable guidance for our family business succession

Our family-owned manufacturing company in Omaha needed to navigate a complex succession plan involving multiple siblings and a partial sale to a key employee. We chose David Hefflinger based on his long-standing reputation and specific recognition in Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law. His 50+ years of experience were immediately apparent. He didn't just draft documents; he facilitated difficult family conversations with a steady, pragmatic approach, foreseeing tax and corporate governance issues we hadn't considered. His deep knowledge of Nebraska business law and his recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition in Mergers & Acquisitions gave us immense confidence during a stressful process. The transaction closed smoothly, protecting both the business's future and family relationships. The only minor critique is that, given his seniority and caseload, responses to non-urgent emails could sometimes take a day or two. That said, when it mattered, he was always available. We highly recommend David for any significant business or family enterprise matter.
