Family Business Resource Center

Recent surveys and studies show that seven out of ten businesses in the United States are family-owned.

Each one of these is a unique combination of business enterprise and family. With decades of experience serving family business clients, the members of the Family Business Practice Group at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP are sensitive to these distinctive dynamics and know how to meet these challenges.

Our Family Business Resource Center provides research, news, and commentary on significant developments, plus other resources helpful to both family businesses and their service providers. From ownership and leadership transition, to corporate governance, employment issues, policy and estate planning, philanthropy, and growth and exit strategies, our team of advisors presents the most relevant news and insights for every facet of a family's business. We are dedicated to supporting and advising our clients as they develop, grow, and manage their businesses.
