Business leaders turn to Plunkett Cooney of Counsel Karen Collingsworth-Crusse for estate planning services and to design business succession strategies for the privately held
or family-owned companies they’ve spent a lifetime creating.

that protect their interests and build value with the goal of selling their highly successful companies to outside investors or transitioning them to the next generation of family members. Business succession plans are complex, and they can be sensitive, especially given the personal dynamics within families and the sophistication of private equity and other firms seeking to acquire companies.
