Greg assists with issues at the intersection of family and business transitioning between generations, owning and running a business together, supporting retirement, and ensuring the family legacy endures. His knowledge of family businesses, backed with the support of a full-service business law firm, makes him a valuable legal partner.

His technical knowledge gleaned from decades of practice, combined with his upbeat, optimistic attitude, give him a unique perspective in creating solutions that work for all parties. He serves as a trusted adviser, helping clients work through sensitive issues and achieve their goals beyond financial success.
Greg’s knowledge of family business dynamics runs deep and began early. He worked his way through college at a family-owned restaurant and afterward, was employed by two other family businesses. Before he entered law school, he had already gained much practical experience with the unique qualities and needs of family business owners.
Greg is an adjunct business law professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School. He is also the author of The Lawyers’ Guide to Family Business Succession Planning (ABA 2020) and publishes a blog about family business law. Greg and his wife, Stephanie, married in 1987 and attended law school together. They have three adult children. Greg and Stephanie enjoy the arts, such as literature, music, film, and theater. Greg also loves hiking with his daughter, photography, and animals – especially the family dog and four cats.
