We are in a golden age of tax-free wealth transfers. Gifts up to $13.61 million (or $27.22 million for a married couple) can be made on a tax-free basis. But in less than two years, this is expected to change. The federal estate tax exemption will be cut by more than half and adjusted for inflation on December 31, 2025, the date of its expiration. Even though it is possible that new tax laws will be passed between now and then, it's best to start thinking ahead and implementing strategic wealth transfer plans now for your family business. Our discussion will include explanations and pros/cons of GRATs, SLATs, FLPs, and more! Bea Wolper of Emens Wolper Jacobs & Jasin and Meredith Sugar of Taft/ will facilitate this discussion, give practical guidance, and answer any questions you may have. Don't miss this opportunity! ... read more

Alex Canters love of his family business and desire for change led to creating Ordermark where he raised $100+M and changed the restaurant industry. Alex Canter loves Canter?s Deli ? the legendary Jewish Deli in Los Angeles that hosted dignitaries including Mick Jagger, Haim, and Guns & Roses. Known as ?Mini Patrón,? or ?El Patrón? which is little boss, Alex started waiting tables at age 13. After college, he returned to Canter?s and introduced POS and other innovations that didn?t always go well with the family members and employees. In 2015, Canter?s delivery business started to boom as they signed up for GrubHub, DoorDash, UberEATS, Postmates, delivery.com and more. Each company had its own proprietary software so there were nine separate tablets handling to-go orders in the kitchen. From this chaos, a new company was formed. Alex shares stories ranging from being a family-owned restaurant open 24/7 for the past 50-years to receiving a check for $100+M in venture meeting that lasted 25-minutes. During Family Business Entrepreneur?s Dream webinar, Alex will discuss everything from growing up in the family business to raising initial capital for the business. Afterwards, there will be a short Q&A session. ... read more
