Expert guidance for our family business succession plan

Our family has worked with Michael Eckstein for over a decade, and he recently guided us through the complex process of transitioning ownership of our multi-generational restaurant supply business. His deep knowledge, particularly in closely held companies and business organizations, was immediately apparent. He structured an LLC framework and buy-sell agreements that addressed both tax implications and family dynamics with remarkable foresight. We specifically sought him out because of his LLM in Taxation from Georgetown and his long-standing recognition in these fields. His 45 years of experience meant he anticipated issues we hadn't even considered. The plan he crafted is solid and gives us great confidence for the future. While his expertise is worth the investment, the process did involve some waiting periods for document drafts, which required a bit of patience on our end. Overall, Michael provided the seasoned, strategic counsel we needed to secure our legacy in New Orleans.
