In this podcast episode, Arnold Bloch Leibler partner Christine Fleer shares her insights on the legal structures that underpin Australian family businesses and the planning required to pass them on. Christine discusses the options available to family groups, the triggers that should prompt a review, and outlines practical considerations for founders looking to transition control without disrupting the business they’ve built.
Christine Fleer is a partner at Arnold Bloch Leibler in Melbourne, specialising in commercial law, family and business succession, and private wealth. She works extensively with high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and family groups, with a practical understanding of how closely family dynamics and business structures are bound together.
Christine works with families across every stage of the journey, from first-generation founders to third-generation custodians, helping clients choose the right structure for the asset, put the essential documents in place, plan for the triggers they can’t predict, and build the governance and advisory support around them, so control can pass to the next generation in a way that protects both the family and the business.
