Advice on family governance, succession and family offices
Family first or business first? A successful family enterprise has two sides: the business side and the family side. As the owner, you have to balance both, particularly during times of uncertainty or when new generations are coming on board.
How does the future of your family business look as regards common goals and values? Answering this and similar questions will shape your strategy for ownership of the business. To do this, you will need a clear process and consistent implementation. With our structured approach and extensive experience, we can help you during this process.

What our clients have to say
“PwC helped us as an external third party bring all those involved to the table and create clarity regarding who wants what or does not want it. This discussion within the family was both difficult and beneficial at the same time.”
“For me as an external Chairman of the Board of Directors, it is very valuable when the family owning the company intensively confronts family governance issues. The concrete example PwC assisted with was very useful.”
“PwC assisted us with drafting our family constitution. The collaboration was a professional mixture of sensibility, expertise and passion for family companies.”
“Thank you for the competent and focused leadership of the workshops. Together over the course of six months we got the transition to the next generation at our company on track. We would never have been able to do this without your help. Before the workshop, our – particularly my – situation was very muddled as regards the individual players. Now it’s up to us to keep our company on track and help one another guide it.”
What aspects we can help you with

We will draw upon our expertise to assist you with any questions you have about family governance, succession and family offices. Together we will work to craft a solution that captures all the relevant aspects of your present and future.
Family Governance
Family governance enables you to define your code of values as well as the rules your family must adhere to in dealing with one another and with conflicts. You determine how to promote cohesion, how to deal with conflicts and how to integrate the next generation.
Succession planning
Setting up targeted succession planning in advance allows you to map out how the next generation will take over and include everyone in the process. This includes solutions for tax, legal and financial aspects.
Family Office
Together or alone? On your own or getting help from third parties? Non-profit, family or individual? A family office enables you to answer these questions and sustainably manage your personal, family and company assets.
