Karin Fjeldsted
Attorney
Plans handovers for family firms and answers owners’ weekly questions.
Karin worked in her family’s hardware store through school and watched it change hands twice, once well and once badly. She joined the firm to help owners plan the good kind.
She works on successions with each client’s accountant, and looks after owners who need a lawyer to look at something most weeks: a contract, a hiring form, a letter from the city.
What Karin handles
- Succession planning
- Selling to family or employees
- Purchase agreements
- Outside counsel for owners
- Hiring paperwork for owners
