About the Award
The Family Business Advisory Practice of the Year award recognises a practice (which could be a sole practitioner, a discrete family business advisory practice within a firm, lawyers, accountants or a dedicated family advisory firm) that specialises in navigating the complex issues that arise in family businesses. Submissions should focus on advice regarding the competing dynamics between family and business and their governance, rather than simply on advising businesses that happen to be run by families.
Your entry should include the percentage of the firm’s total work that this area of work represents. You should only enter if your organisation focusses significantly and in depth on this area of work; if it does not, your entry will be unlikely to succeed.
