Being an owner in an A/E firm is not like owning shares in a public company. Owners and potential owners of A/E firms need to understand
how value is determined, but without free market information, where do you start?
ZweigWhite Management Events presents: VALUATION AND OWNERSHIP TRANSITION, a one-day intensive seminar designed exclusively for principals in firms like yours. Course instructors Ian Rusk and Michael O’Brien make their living advising A/E firms on valuation and ownership transition issues. They each have extensive backgrounds in
finance and A/E firm strategy. In just one day, they will explain how valuation and ownership transition works, how to
evaluate ownership opportunities in an A/E firm, and how to establish a transition plan that supports your firm’s vision and growth strategies and makes ownership a “good investment” for both current and future owners.
