Protect Your Business. Preserve Your Legacy.
Family businesses are rarely just about business; they’re about legacy, relationships, and shared identity.
At InterGen, we help regional families build strong legal and strategic structures to support the smooth transfer of leadership, ownership, and wealth from one generation to the next.
Whether you’re running a farm, a fabrication business, or a regional service enterprise, we provide the structure and clarity you need to protect what you’ve built — and to set up the next generation. We also advise clients across the full spectrum of industries.
Why Structuring Matters
Without the right legal and strategic framework, even the strongest family business can be derailed by:
- Family disputes over control or direction
- Unclear roles between siblings, children, or spouses
- Tax inefficiencies and unexpected liabilities
- Misaligned expectations about ownership and inheritance
- External threats like litigation or financial disruption
We help you put guardrails in place—so everyone knows their role, their rights, and the path forward.
Our Approach
At InterGen, we take a collaborative, structured approach to family business planning that balances legal, financial, and emotional considerations.
Our proven process includes:
- Reviewing current structures, trusts, ownership, and control mechanisms
- Identifying family and business risks (key person, disputes, succession gaps)
- Facilitating stakeholder discussions and family alignment
- Designing a clear governance and ownership structure
- Coordinating with your accountant, financial adviser, and insurer
- Preparing essential documents (e.g. shareholder agreements, buy-sell deeds, business continuity plans)
