June 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Five experts from Birkett Long will offer advice on financial and legal planning when preparing for a sale, management buyout or succession to the next generation of a family business.

Claire Read, Head of the Probate, Tax and Trusts Team at Birkett Long, will chair the events. She said: “Business owners who are thinking of selling or passing on their company now or in the next few years will want to maximise its value through effective succession planning.
