“Happily Business Divorced 2025”: A NJICLE Seminar on Navigating Business Breakups

The end of a business partnership is a journey fraught with legal, financial, and emotional complexities. For owners of closely held corporations, LLCs, and partnerships, a “business divorce” requires a strategic, multi-disciplinary approach. I developed “Happily Business Divorced 2025,” a comprehensive seminar presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) on Friday, August 8, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, to assist other lawyers in assessing and handling these disputes.

We assembled a team of leading professionals to tackle the most critical facets of business separation. After an overview of the core legal principles governing these disputes, we will then delve into some of the the crucial numbers with two outstanding experts:

• Christopher Young, Ph.D., of Resecon will demystify complex valuation methodologies, ensuring you understand how to accurately determine a business interest’s worth.
• Hubert Klein, a leading forensic accountant from EisnerAmper, will uncover the financial story, discussing how to trace assets and identify potential discrepancies.

Finally, my colleague Michael Mietlicki of Weiner Law will address one of the most difficult scenarios: litigation that erupts between family members or heirs after an owner’s death.

This program is designed for other lawyers who advise closely held businesses. You will leave with a clearer understanding of your clients’ rights and the tools to navigate a business divorce successfully.

I invite you to join us for this insightful event.
