Request a Private Continuity Conversation
A private first conversation to determine whether a structured continuity review is relevant.
Families often know something requires attention before they can define the complete problem. The first conversation is used to understand the broad situation, test whether the practice is relevant and identify an appropriate next step.
Share only enough context for that assessment; sensitive documents are not required.

Establishing relevance
A Conversation May Be Relevant When
The family need not be facing an immediate succession event. The conversation may also be relevant before a business transfer, ownership restructuring, trust settlement, retirement decision or reduction in the founder’s day-to-day involvement.
- too much authority, information or access remains with the founder;
- family wealth is substantial but usable liquidity has not been tested;
- ownership benefit and operating responsibility are not aligned;
- Wills, nominations, trusts, company records or family intentions may not point the same way;
- several advisers are involved, but no single continuity view exists;
- a transition, business sale, restructuring, borrowing, trust settlement or family decision is approaching.
The first conversation
What the First Conversation Covers
The discussion is intended to understand:
Depending on the situation, the appropriate starting point may be:
- The Family Continuity Diagnostic as the default where connected questions remain unresolved
- A focused Continuity Capital Review only where a defined capital or dependable-income obligation is already clear
- No immediate engagement
The initial conversation does not presume that an engagement will follow.
Information discipline
What Not to Send Initially
Do not submit identity documents, account-access information, financial or tax records, bank or investment statements, wills, trusts, contracts or detailed allegations about family disputes.
A short description of the broad situation is sufficient. If more is required, the purpose and secure sharing method will be agreed separately.
Professional boundaries
For Professional Introducers
A Chartered Accountant, lawyer, banker, trustee, investment professional or other trusted adviser may first discuss the broad circumstances without identifying the family.
