Competent handling of my business succession plan

I engaged Fulvio Durante to assist with a business succession plan for my family-owned company, an area where his profile indicates significant recognition. His long tenure at Dunphy Best Blocksom LLP, dating back to 1994, and his noted experience in corporate law and trusts were evident. He provided solid, technically correct advice on the corporate restructuring and estate planning components. The documents were thorough. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Communication was functional but not proactive; I often had to follow up for updates, and there were occasional delays in receiving responses. While the final work product was professionally executed, aligning with his recognized expertise, the overall client experience felt more transactional than collaborative. For straightforward corporate or estate matters where you just need the legal mechanics handled, he is a capable choice. Just be prepared to manage the timeline and communication flow yourself.
