Family Business
We have served family business owners since 1967
Looking out for your bottom line
The Family Business: More Than a Financial Asset
The business you spent a good part of your life creating is more than a source of income and wealth. It is an important part of your family legacy and tradition.
At LNW, we understand the financial and emotional challenges that come with business ownership because we have experienced them firsthand.
Our roots lie in serving family business owners
LNW was founded in 1967 to manage the wealth of the Laird and Norton families, part of a thriving family enterprise now into its eighth generation.
Our history and experience provide us with insights into the unique wealth considerations faced by business-owning families.
A partner for you, your family, and your business
Ensuring your business’ smooth and prosperous transition at moments of change is a critical part of your wealth plan. We remain at your side when a major business event occurs – be it a buyout, change in management, or retirement from the business.
We apply a wide variety of in-house expertise – investments, taxes, trust & estate planning — to help you make the most of your business equity, whether you continue to operate for generations, transfer ownership, or leverage your business as an asset.
