How to Protect Family Assets and Business for Generations: Free Webinar

We warmly invite you to a unique Czech-Slovak webinar on protecting family assets and business “STRUCTURES THAT PROTECT (FAMILY) ASSETS AND SURVIVE GENERATIONAL TRANSITION“.

Every company founder can be the first generation (G1) in a family business and build it within a functional structure that enables the smooth transfer of the business and wealth to future generations.

Each descendant (G2) in a family business can be the family member who takes over the family business and wealth as a prepared successor, expands its scope and ensures not only domestic but also international expansion.

The goal is not merely to own a factory or provide services – the goal is to ensure the protection of the family’s assets for generations, establish functional corporate governance models when handing over control from the managing generation to the successor generation, and do so in a way that prevents conflicts, unnecessary tax burdens, fragmentation or undesirable diminution of family wealth.

THEREFORE, WE WARMLY INVITE YOU TO OUR WEBINAR:

When: 11 November 2025 (Tuesday) 10:00–11:00 CET
Where: online (every registered participant will receive a recording of the webinar; the link will be sent 2 days before the webinar)
Price: free

WHO IS THE WEBINAR FOR:

Founders, together with their spouse, because you are the first generation that can consciously establish legal and asset relationships for future generations

Successors – that is, descendants and those who will take over and/or have taken over the business or are preparing for such succession

All of you who want to understand how you can effectively and legally protect your assets and business, regardless of whether you intend to leave it to your children one day – bear in mind that selling a company is also subject to different tax treatment when you are an individual than when a legal entity sells it

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AT THE WEBINAR:

At the webinar, we will clearly demonstrate how to establish asset and legal structures in Slovakia and the Czech Republic (holding company, trust, foundation), how to protect family assets and how to ensure the intergenerational transfer of management of a family business without unnecessary disputes and in a predictable manner.

WE WILL PRESENT IT FROM BOTH THE CZECH AND SLOVAK PERSPECTIVES:

Holding company: How to build a family holding company for the secure future of a family business; we will explain when a foundation, trust or holding company is appropriate – and their combination, including a cross-border combination

Asset and legal structures: How to effectively establish structures that will survive generational transition in your company

Asset protection and intergenerational transfer: How to protect (family) assets (and no, it will not be only about money)

Threats: What the real threats to a family business are and what puts the operation of your company at risk

Functional relationships as the foundation: How to establish legal relationships in the family and company that will function for generations

Family assets: How to make use of family wealth (know-how, IP rights such as trademarks, real estate) so that the money remains in your hands and under your control

(Un)expected situations: what happens in the event of divorce, death, the sale of the company, an investor joining, and situations where only some of the descendants wish to participate in the family business

+ bonus: you will gain everything you need to assess whether your asset, family and legal relationships are properly arranged

+ bonus: real anonymized examples from practice that will have the desired wow effect and help you open your eyes to reality in many ways
