About Family Business Constitution & Governance
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A family constitution records how the family will own and run its business: who may work in it and how they're paid, how shares pass between generations, dividend and reinvestment policy, how decisions are made, and how members can exit or resolve disputes. It isn't itself fully enforceable, so its key terms are reflected in the company's articles and a shareholders' agreement.
Most family-business disputes arise at the second or third generation over roles, pay and exits. Agreeing rules early, while relationships are good, is far cheaper than litigation.
We facilitate the discussions, draft the constitution, and align the articles, shareholding and tax structure with it.
| Covers | Ownership, roles, pay, dividends, exits, disputes |
|---|---|
| Enforceability | Through articles and shareholders' agreement |
| Bodies | Family assembly, family council, board |
