Rich Gove, MBA - With over 30 years of experience in providing financial services to business owners, I focus on preparing you for either an internal or external transition. I help you get “exit ready” years in advance with practical steps: valuation readiness, continuity planning, retaining key employees, reviewing buy/sell agreements and family or leadership succession design.

We’ll map out what to do before, during, and after key events, integrating exercise decisions, concentration risk, and liquidity needs. If you want a seasoned partner who treats your transition or your equity as distinct, high stakes priorities within a cohesive plan, let’s start a focused conversation and build clarity.

Matt Jensen, J.D. - I am the founding attorney of Strategic Legacy Law, PLLC. I practice primarily in the areas of trusts and estates and business law. I work closely with individuals, families, and business owners to design customized estate plans and business succession strategies. I have extensive experience helping business owners integrate estate planning and business succession planning, ensuring that personal, family, and business interests work together seamlessly.

Matt has previously been recognized on numerous occasions as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers Minnesota. Additionally, Matt was named a Minnesota Top Lawyer for 2024 by Minnesota Monthly. Learn more at StrategicLegacyLaw.com

This could be you!

To join the Circle, track down one of our members listed here to start a conversation and be invited to the next meeting.

We convene on the first Thursday of each month somewhere in the Southwest Metro suburbs of Minneapolis. Attend a meeting, assess whether our particular blend of wisdom and dad jokes resonates with you, and if you like reminiscing what life was like before smartphones.

Someone will follow up with you to see if we’re a fit.
