Selling the family business

Few transactions require a broader range of skills from a transactional lawyer than the sale of a family-owned business.  In addition to the ordinary business, regulatory, and tax implications, the lawyer representing the business has to be up to date on family law, estate planning issues—and it doesn’t hurt to be a teacher, hand-holder, and psychologist.

The ABA Business Law Section is holding a one-hour overview that will highlight some of the issues, called Representing the Seller of a Family Business.  It’s slated for June 8.  Registration is free for the first 250 members of the Business Law Section to sign up.
