A ‘MUST-READ’ FOR FAMILY BUSINESS MEMBERS

Sometimes trying to summarize something that has been written very well loses too much of the essence of the article.  Thus is the case with an article about litigation in family owned businesses, written by George F. Burns, a friend who is an attorney in Maine.

If you have a family business, you owe it to yourself and your company to read the article HERE.  It covers the pitfalls and true costs – whether you win or lose — of litigating differences among family members.  (Link provided with permission of the author.)

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

On June 22, I will be leading an evening seminar in conjunction with Glen Dowden of Ameriprise Financial and Patrick Sherman of RiverSource Insurance, discussing “Planning for, Managing and Preserving Success.”  It is a seminar that focuses on forgiving yourself and others for past mistakes, being transparent with those you care for, and making your business and life successful.

Scheduled for 5:00 p.m., at the Granite Grille (703 Granite Avenue) in Braintree, the event is free but there will be a limited number of seats.  To reserve yours, please contact me by June 21^st at 617-786-0800, or by Email at bgordon@gmo-law.com.
