09.30 Panel discussion: Facilitating a smooth and successful transition of wealth to the next generation
Some of the most damaging challenges families face often come from within. How do you keep a family business united and avoid open warfare? Our panel will set the scene, identify key issues and lay the groundwork for a thought-provoking panel session. The panel will also discuss solutions to cases where the transition of wealth to a new generation is not always as smooth as it should be.
