Business owners have a vested interest in ensuring the continued success of their ventures upon retirement or death. Van Winkle's Business Law and Succession Planning practice advises small, family-owned businesses and large, privately-held companies in working through tax, and operational issues involved in planning for the succession. The firm’s business law attorneys work with entrepreneurs to design detailed plans for succession while educating them on options, including management buy-outs, employee stock ownership plans, liquidation, and sales. In each case Van Winkle serves as a business advisor on matters -- estate plans, taxation, and employment law -- that can have profound impacts on the transaction.
