Vermont Law and Graduate School faculty and students will explore different business structures and models, estate planning for businesses, and the legal processes of business transitions such as dissolution, merger, or acquisition.

Our learning objectives include:

• Understand the basics of how business transitions (dissolution, mergers, and acquisition) take place, what to expect, and options for meeting your goals with legal tools.
• Identify the strengths and challenges of different business models beyond traditional LLCs and corporations.
• Explore how succession planning for your business can ease transitions to a younger generation, and limit liabilities.

Whether you’re planning an exit strategy, hoping to pass your business to your kids, or considering taking a community-centered approach to your business, this session will help you plan for your business’s future.
