We established a family foundation aimed at supporting a large family of around 40 members. A key objective of the foundation was to create a scholarship fund for less affluent family members while ensuring that the beneficiaries retained maximum control over the foundation.
We designed a foundation structure that gives beneficiaries control over its operations while providing support for less affluent family members. We introduced governance rules that ensured an equal distribution of voting rights across different branches of the family, as well as conflict-resolution mechanisms to guarantee stability and fairness in decision-making. We set investment restrictions, along with detailed rules for the functioning of the management board and supervisory board, to ensure that the foundation operated in line with the interests of all beneficiaries. In addition, we secured tax compliance for both the foundation and its beneficiaries and prepared guidelines for accounting and mandatory audits.
A Polish owner of an international business approached us to adjust the holding structure to the new business reality. Business expansion and the establishment of a family foundation required optimizing financial flows and diversifying geographical risks related to the war in Ukraine.
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of cash flows within the group and assessed the role of individual functions in its structure. Based on this analysis, we implemented significant changes, including the relocation of certain group entities and a cross-border merger of the Polish holding company with a Czech entity. As a result, the main management company and the holding company were transferred to the Czech Republic, reducing geographical risks.
