When family relationships break down, the impact can extend well beyond personal matters, putting the future of a family enterprise at risk. In this episode of Beyond Succession, host, Leah Tolton, is joined by Patricia Hebert, a collaborative family lawyer, mediator and child advocate, to explore how collaborative family law can protect business continuity, preserve family wealth and sustain long-term legacy during separation or divorce.

Together, they discuss how this non-adversarial approach empowers families to resolve disputes while preserving what matters most—from operating companies and investment portfolios to intergenerational plans and shared values. They also examine how pre- and postnuptial agreements can be used proactively to minimize conflict and protect family assets. This episode offers practical strategies for navigating family change without compromising your family enterprise’s future.
