Business Succession Planning Lawyers

An approachable team of experts, helping you achieve whatever comes next.

Business succession planning is a process of transferring control of closely held business interests by gift, inheritance, or sale. The success of the plan often depends on the owner’s ability and willingness to plan well ahead of the event triggering the transition. It may involve a transfer to the owner’s family or to key employees, or it could be a sale to another party. Whatever the circumstance, we can help you with planning for the transition as well as help you accomplish the transition itself when the time comes.

Mika Meyers’ business succession lawyers can help plan and draft agreements for a smooth business transition, including transfer of ownership, multi-generation transfers, exit strategies, capital restructuring, asset protection, shareholder agreements, buy/sell agreements, stock restrictions, and creating family limited liability companies. Proper business succession planning can minimize tax liabilities, provide protection for heirs and successors, maintain core competency, and create a lasting legacy for exiting founders.

Our firm is a trusted provider of business succession planning for companies in Grand Rapids and across Michigan. Whatever the circumstance, we can help you with planning for the transition as well as help you accomplish the transition itself when the time comes.
