Expert guidance for our family business succession plan

We engaged Karl Weiss at Lasher Holzapfel to help our family navigate the complex transition of our manufacturing business to the next generation. His dual expertise in closely held businesses and tax law, underscored by his LL.M. from NYU, was immediately apparent. He structured a plan that addressed ownership transfer, tax implications, and family governance with remarkable clarity, avoiding potential pitfalls we hadn't even considered. While his billing is commensurate with his specialized knowledge, and response times can occasionally be a day or two during busy periods, the quality of his strategic counsel is exceptional. His recent recognition in the field is well-deserved. Karl took the time to understand our family dynamics, making a legally dense process feel manageable and secure. We feel confident our legacy is in good hands.
