Join us for a hands-on workshop luncheon focused on the legal aspects of M&A in family businesses, led by legal experts Michelle Bomberger and John Butler from Equinox Business Law Group.

Thinking about selling your business someday—even if it’s years down the road? Join us for a hands-on legal workshop designed specifically for family business leaders preparing for a future sale. Led by a seasoned business attorney, this session will walk you through the key areas of legal due diligence that buyers scrutinize most: corporate governance, contracts, employment matters, intellectual property, and real estate. You’ll leave with a practical checklist to assess your company’s readiness and identify gaps before they become deal-breakers. Whether you're actively planning a sale or simply want to future-proof your business, this discussion will equip you with the legal insights to move forward confidently. 

As a follow-up to the September FBX seminar featuring a panel discussion on M&A, this workshop will provide family business owners with a guide to what they need to know if they are considering M&A in the future.

A healthy lunch buffet will be available at 11:30am, with the workshop starting at noon. FBX workshop lunches are intended for FBX members and are open to prospective members.
