Legal Advisors and Family Business Owners: A Transaction Cost Understanding of “the Ownership Contract”
Family business owners are dependent on legal advice to control ownership changes and uphold a functional balance between owners. This advice spans both family law and business law. However, family business owners are found to underutilize the legal instruments available, especially for small- and medium-sized enterprises. We explore the market for legal advice provided to family business owners. Our findings describe specific ownership costs that decrease owners’ willingness and ability to contract. This avoidance of ex ante costs puts the owners at risk of extensive ex post costs that could ultimately jeopardize the business.

Family Business Review (FBR) has been a refereed journal since 1988, serving as the premier scholarly publication dedicated to the study of family-controlled enterprises. It delves into the dynamics of these businesses, encompassing a range of sizes from small to very large. FBR concentrates not only on the entrepreneurial founding generation but also on family enterprises in subsequent generations, including some of the world's oldest companies. The journal also publishes interdisciplinary research covering families of wealth, family foundations, and offices.
