THE LANDSCAPE

Family business in transition.

Family-owned businesses in Türkiye, Italy, and across MENA are entering a critical transition decade. Founders who built extraordinary enterprises are stepping back. Second and third generations are stepping into leadership, often without the governance infrastructure to support the transition.

The challenge is not whether the business survives the succession. It is whether the family and the relationships within it survive the succession intact.

What's shifting

The succession decade

Founders are stepping back. The next generation is stepping in. Most are unprepared for what lies between the two moments.

Governance under pressure

Family councils, boards, and holding structures: the informal arrangements that built the business won't hold the scale ahead.

Family wealth, professional management

Capital allocation, talent decisions, and growth bets need professional rigor. Family identity still matters deeply.

WHAT WE BRING

Major focus areas

Where we go deepest, though our work often extends beyond these.

01

Succession & Governance Design

Ownership transition frameworks, family assembly structures, and succession roadmaps built to last. Not templates imposed from outside. Custom architecture built with the family.

Practice area: Organization & People →

02

Family Constitution & Board

Formalizing the governance layer: family constitution drafting, independent board design, decision rights clarity. Built with the family, never imposed on them.

Practice area: Strategy & Transformation →

03

Growth Strategy

New market entry, adjacency expansion, and capital allocation for the next chapter. Growth designed to fit the family's ambition and long-term risk tolerance.

Practice area: Global Growth & Sustainability →

04

Leadership & Org Modernization

Professionalizing management while preserving family identity. Talent frameworks, incentive redesign, and culture work that respects what made the business.

Practice area: Organization & People →

SENIORITY MATTERS

Senior-led, sector-grounded.

Family business advisory requires something most consultancies cannot offer: trust. Our senior partners work directly with family principals, independent board members, and the next generation. Not through junior intermediaries.

Discretion is non-negotiable. Continuity matters enormously. The senior advisor who builds the relationship in the first engagement is the one who stays as the work evolves over months and sometimes years.

We do not staff family business engagements with generalists. Every partner on a family business engagement has direct succession and governance experience from similar situations across our markets.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Client trust is fundamental to how we work.

Our experience spans 100+ engagements across sectors and geographies. We share what we've learned in conversation, not in case files.
