We are saddened to share the passing of the Honorable John E. Dewane, retired judge and close friend of many members of the Kotz Sangster team, on Thursday, October 14th. At 81 years old, John spent several years as a vital member of our firm in addition to his impactful career serving Berrien County as a Circuit Court judge.
Several members of the Southwest Michigan Kotz Sangster team had an excellent time supporting St. Joseph High School’s athletics department during their recent “Birdies Fore Bears” fundraising event, serving as the Platinum Sponsor of the event.
Kotz Sangster attorneys, along with colleagues from Plante Moran, presented on the topic of “Succession Planning: Don’t Risk Your Company’s Future” on September 27, 2016. The subject was one of an array of leadership and management sessions included in an annual conference hosted by the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA). The 2016 Midwest Regional Conference was held in Oak Brook, Illinois.
Moderated by Ed Boucher, speakers included Greg Wysocki and Plante Moran partners. The presentation covered the importance of a family business, options for selling and/or transferring assets, reminders that succession plans are not one-size-fits-all, and the issues to consider when developing a plan. The presenters covered meaningful ideas on how to handle an often difficult subject, as well as a discussion on the importance of identifying and developing future leaders throughout the company.
