Family Businesses

Family businesses are the backbone of the Irish economy. Some 75% of all businesses are family owned and they provide more than 50% of all employment.  We believe that in the current economic climate more and more entrepreneurs will rely on the family institution in order to get a business started and established.

ByrneWallace's multidisciplinary Family Business Group helps family businesses in all industry sectors tackle market challenges and opportunities in Ireland and internationally.
