Paul Milne and I have worked together to learn and develop an approach to family businesses in transition, based on a foundation of shared values in the family. We learned the details of how important it is to appreciate and clarify the values in a family business setting from Eugene Muscat at the University of San Francisco. Paul has been a thought-leader in developing and using this technique to aid family businesses in transition. He has often presented his approach to attorney groups and other organizations which specialize in serving the family business arena. His keen intelligence and persistent drive to improve has made him an invaluable resource to his clients looking for guidance through the challenging process of transitioning ownership and management and to his colleagues who appreciate his generous and thoughtful assistance.”

Paul has been an esteemed mentor of mine for many years, shepherding my journey into completing courses at the Family Firm Institute. I’ve had the privilege of working with him in presentations on family business and in consultations. He is a totally ethical and learned person in the field of family business advising. In every opportunity I have had with Paul I always come away having learned more from his knowledge and generosity.
