Family & partners' agreements

Agreements are essentials, but by themselves they cannot always prevent fights. The written agreement must be the final product of a trust building process, in which the family clarifies its values, heritage and vision for the future. Preparing the agreement may be a unique opportunity to discuss sensitive issues and air old grievances in a context of a shared mission. When this is accomplished, signing the agreement becomes a vow of loyalty to the family, its values and its vision. Agreements that are established through such a process may serve as the family anchor even in stormy times.
