Who can you trust if not your own family? That sentiment has come back to
haunt more than one family business. The personal nature of a family enterprise
makes it even more important to clearly define expectations and responsibilities,
and to protect the business from family members who strike out on their own.
Please join the Family Business Association and Sullivan & Worcester on
Tuesday, May 5, for a frank discussion of the need to craft strong employment
agreements and noncompetition agreements for your family’s business. You’ll
hear firsthand accounts of business tragedies that could have been avoided, and
triumphs that are due in large part to the presence of strong agreements.
You’ll also llearn which elements of an employment agreement are especially
important when dealing with family members, and how to broach the subject of
legal agreements with skeptical relatives.
