Paul Thursam

Expert guidance for our family business succession plan

Our family-owned manufacturing company in Troy needed a comprehensive succession plan to ensure a smooth transition to the next generation. After interviewing several attorneys, we selected Paul Thursam at Giarmarco, Mullins & Horton. His recognition in Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law was immediately evident. Paul took the time to understand our unique family dynamics and business goals. He expertly navigated the complex interplay of corporate structuring, tax implications, and estate planning, drawing on his 17 years of experience. His advice was always pragmatic and focused on our long-term stability. The final plan he drafted was thorough and gave our entire family great confidence. While Paul's expertise is undeniable, there were a few instances where communication lagged slightly, perhaps due to his caseload, requiring a gentle follow-up on our part. This minor note aside, we highly recommend Paul for any family business facing similar corporate or succession challenges. His deep knowledge of Michigan corporate law and his patient, strategic approach were invaluable.
