All in the Family

Presented By: Wintrust Commercial Banking

Family-owned businesses, family offices, family-led private equity firms, and family trusts all share unique dynamics that most other businesses do not. But if you’ve seen one family-owned enterprise you’ve seen, well, one family-owned enterprise. Join a panel of c-suite executives, investors, and an advisor as they share how their respective organizations operate and what you should consider as you think about the present and future of your own family-owned or operated organization.
