the Lombard Odier/HEC Paris study.

Family businesses: seeking continuity

How do French entrepreneurial families try to reconcile heritage, the transfer of wealth, and the aspirations of future generations?

This study, conducted by Lombard Odier in collaboration with HEC Paris, reveals the vulnerabilities of family businesses when formalising succession and governance, despite strong operational preparation. While most leaders wish to pass on the business, the next generation – more mobile, more international, and freer in its choices – no longer sees taking over as a given. This gap underscores the need to anticipate, structure, and strengthen intergenerational dialogue.

“Entrepreneur’s Voices” – a series in partnership with Le Figaro.

Since 2022, Lombard Odier and Le Figaro have partnered on a programme dedicated to entrepreneurship and wealth management. Through the “Entrepreneur’s Voices” series – now in its third edition in 2025 – we spotlight inspiring French entrepreneurs alongside our experts, exploring four major themes of our times: AI, healthcare, sustainability, and entrepreneurship. Together, they share insights on economic transformations, business succession, and sustainable investment – issues at the heart of societal challenges in France and worldwide.
