The Challenge
A second-generation family business in the hospitality sector was at a standstill due to disagreements between the two founding brothers' families. One branch wanted to aggressively expand, while the other preferred a conservative, dividend-focused approach. This deadlock was hurting the business and risked spilling into a public legal battle that could tarnish their well-respected brand.
Our Strategic Solution
Acting as a neutral mediator, our first step was to establish a framework for confidential negotiations. Our team conducted a fair valuation of all assets, from hotels to land banks. We then worked with both family branches to understand their aspirations and red lines, crafting three possible restructuring scenarios. Through dozens of hours of patient mediation, we helped them arrive at a solution involving a demerger of the hotel chain to one branch, while the other received a portfolio of real estate assets and a cash settlement, ensuring a clean break.
