Our Story
How We Came to Be
I understand the complexities that come with transitioning a business. I’ve seen it firsthand and experienced it myself. My journey began as an estate planning attorney and business law expert, providing counsel to clients navigating the future. But when my father fell ill, it was my own life that needed a plan.
I’ll never forget the night I battled COVID-19. I fought for my life, and during that fight, I realized my business wasn’t ready for succession. It was a sobering moment, a wake-up call that drove me to ensure that no one else would face that uncertainty. I began to craft a plan – not just for me, but for any business owner who wanted to ensure their legacy.
COtingency was born out of necessity and heartache. It’s my life’s work to empower businesses, to protect them, and to guide them through the unexpected. The journey hasn’t been easy. It required countless revisions and the help of many experts. But today, I’m proud to say that COtingency is a comprehensive solution that’s reshaping how businesses approach succession planning.
