What carries forward—and who is ready to lead.
You have built more than assets. You have shaped a business, a family, a set of values, and a way of doing things.
Perhaps you want your children to find their own purpose, your business to thrive beyond your daily involvement, or the values that shaped your decisions to remain part of what comes next.
J.R. Larkin & Co. helps families and founders clarify those intentions, prepare emerging leaders, and give continuity practical form.
What matters enough to carry forward? The answer may sit in the commitments a family keeps, the decisions a founder made, or the purpose that shaped an enterprise.
We work with families to articulate those intentions and connect them to future decisions. Philanthropy, family commitments, and the story of what was built may all be part of that conversation.
The next generation needs room to find its own direction, alongside preparation for the responsibilities it may inherit.
We clarify expectations, develop leadership capability, and prepare for changing roles with the people involved. For founders and senior leaders, the work also creates space to consider how they want to step back and what they want their continuing role to be.
The future of what you built depends on people who understand their responsibilities and have a way to make decisions together.
We work with families and founders on governance, succession, and changing ownership. Depending on the agreed scope, the work includes clarifying roles, considering how decisions will be made, and preparing for the transfer of leadership.
Succession, ownership transfers, and philanthropy carry tax and legal implications. We coordinate with qualified tax, legal, and financial advisors to connect their work with the family’s intentions. Those advisors provide their specialist advice directly.
For families who want to begin the work independently — J.R. Larkin & Co. offers the Legacy Design Framework. A structured document that guides a family enterprise through the questions that define an intentional legacy.
Available as a standalone resource. Individual advisory sessions available to go deeper.
Some clients begin with a question about who leads next. Others want to articulate what their family or enterprise stands for before deciding how to carry it forward.
The engagement takes shape around those questions. It may focus on one decision or develop into an ongoing relationship as leadership and family responsibilities evolve.
Scope and fees are agreed before work begins.
J.R. Larkin & Co. works with a limited number of clients each year. Indicative fee structure provided on request, in advance of engagement.
If you are considering what carries forward or how leadership will change, we welcome a conversation about the decisions ahead.
Tailored to you. It begins with a conversation.
