- [Seeing the Blind Spot • thebloomgroupllc.com/e-book/](https://thebloomgroupllc.com/e-book/): Order or Download Peter Bloom’s Book Home Seeing the Blind Spot is for family business owners and the professionals that support and advise those family businesses. Purchase or Download Today About Peter Bloom Peter Bloom’s Story My father started a restaurant and bar supply company as I approached my teenage years and named it after my mother. The "M" in M. Bloom Glass Company stands for Mary, my mother's name. He was retiring from 30 years as a police officer, and I sensed that he believed the pension benefits were not enough. In any event, this was a family business in every sense; my grandparents' garage was where we stored inventory, and both my brothers and I were regularly called into service, but principally I was my father's main assistant: I remember it was my job to keep the inventory organized and I also remember long summer nights spent working on ledgers and financial statements for my father. My father was an extraordinary man, highly intelligent, but you have to remember this was a different age. I would regularly accompany him into bars and saloons, sometimes at night, when I was only a teenager. He did not shield me from any of that, or from the difficult parts of the business - unruly customers, difficult clients who often were reluctant to pay their bills, and really difficult work, such as installing large refrigeration units. In the end, the business was successful and helped pay for a large portion of my expensive higher education and provided a nest egg for my father's retirement. Along the way, I got an early education in the family issues that arise where a family is operating a business, as differentiated from non-family members operating a business. Reviews Seeing The Blind Spot {Seeing the Blind Spot is a very welcome addition to the field of Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST) and how it intersects with the world of family business and family wealth. BFST has long been said to be useful for practitioners who work with families who are interdependent, thanks to the fact that they own and manage assets together, whether they be operating businesses, real estate, or financial wealth.The problem is that there are too few books that explain just how BFST informs those who work with these families as their professional advisors. Co-written by an attorney who regularly works with such clients and a psychologist with a specialty in family systems, this book explores 4 real-life family situations in depth, focusing on the family relationships that lay at the heart of their complexity. The cases themselves are enough to make the book compelling, but the added insights into Family Systems Theory are also fabulous. Steve Legler {Wonderfully written with easy-to-follow, insightful ideas by two extremely qualified authors. Antonio Ortiz {I devoured the book on my travel home. Your combined style of writing conveyed the concepts with such clarity. I especially liked the summations after the case narratives and the restraint they reflected. You described where the families were in their evolutionary journey at the end of the engagement, with no assurance that they would live “happily ever after!” David Bork, consultant to family enterprise since 1968, author of "Little Red Book of Family Business" and "Family Business, Risky Business."

- [Problems in a Multi-Generational Family Business • thebloomgroupllc.com/the-troubled-father-son-relationship-that-threatened-a-family-business/](https://thebloomgroupllc.com/the-troubled-father-son-relationship-that-threatened-a-family-business/): Home This case concerned strained relationships that threatened to derail a family business. We were retained to stabilize the situation. This business was started after the end of the Second World War by Harold, a signal communications expert and engineer. Harold’s son Paul took over the business upon Harold’s retirement. At the time we were retained, Paul was Chairman and CEO of this company. Long before these events, Harold left Paul's mother for another woman, Sara, who had two children of her own. Paul often found it difficult to navigate the blended family. Paul also indicated that he neither liked nor respected Sara, and he resented the role she played in how his mother had been treated when Harold decided to leave her for Sara. Paul had two children: an adult son who was the VP of Sales at the family business, and an adult daughter who was not involved in the business. The father had a tense relationship with his son that cycled between closeness and months of no contact. The father was closer with his daughter, but there were still conflicts from time to time. One of the sources of conflict between Paul and his son was the absence of any succession plan for the business. The son was understandably concerned about his own future, and whether he would in time have the opportunity to get ownership and control of the business. In his will, Harold had left equal shares in the family business to Paul and Sara, and the communications between them were often too strained to allow for effective management of the business, let alone the creation of a succession plan. The effort to negotiate the terms of this succession plan promised to be often emotional and contentious, and it proved to be both. Every issue – such as the terms of any financial arrangement – carried the possibility of an emotional outburst. Eventually, Paul and Sara agreed to the terms of a buy-sell agreement, that would provide a succession plan. The agreement provided a framework for succession, surprising the son, who was pleased with the terms, as it provided a path to his eventual ownership and control.

- [About • thebloomgroupllc.com/about/](https://thebloomgroupllc.com/about/): Our Firm Home Meet The Lawyer Meet Peter Bloom Peter Bloom is an experienced small business lawyer, providing advice as well as guidance regarding corporate law, contracts, tax, intellectual property protection, financing, succession planning and labor & employment law. Peter is also a highly skilled business transactional lawyer, having handled other financial and strategic transactions. As a result of many years spent working with family businesses, including with his family’s restaurant and bar supply company (see below), Peter is deeply acquainted with the unique dynamics of family businesses. In an effort to promote better outcomes for family businesses, Peter recently co-authored “Seeing the Blind Spot”, a book which provides practical guidance for professionals who work with family businesses. Peter has been practicing business law for over thirty years. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Duke University, and has law degrees from Georgetown University and the University of Connecticut School of Law. In his personal time, Peter is a devoted follower of the blues, and has served as Secretary and a member of the Board of Directors of the D.C. Blues Society.

BFST has long been said to be useful for practitioners who work with families who are interdependent, thanks to the fact that they own and manage assets together, whether they be operating businesses, real estate, or financial wealth.The problem is that there are too few books that explain just how BFST informs those who work with these families as their professional advisors. Co-written by an attorney who regularly works with such clients and a psychologist with a specialty in family systems, this book explores 4 real-life family situations in depth, focusing on the family relationships that lay at the heart of their complexity. The cases themselves are enough to make the book compelling, but the added insights into Family Systems Theory are also fabulous. 5 Steve Legler {Wonderfully written with easy-to-follow, insightful ideas by two extremely qualified authors. 5 Antonio Ortiz {I devoured the book on my travel home. Your combined style of writing conveyed the concepts with such clarity. I especially liked the summations after the case narratives and the restraint they reflected. You described where the families were in their evolutionary journey at the end of the engagement, with no assurance that they would live “happily ever after!” 5 David Bork, consultant to family enterprise since 1968, author of "Little Red Book of Family Business" and "Family Business, Risky Business."

- [A Change of Direction • thebloomgroupllc.com/a-change-of-direction-at-the-edge-of-the-cliff/](https://thebloomgroupllc.com/a-change-of-direction-at-the-edge-of-the-cliff/): Home A sister and brother were beneficiaries of a family trust. Using some of the distributions from that trust, they started a very successful real estate brokerage together. The sister managed finances, while the brother handled operations. All went well for many years, but then problems developed. The sister lived extravagantly, borrowing heavily against her assets. Eventually, she exhausted her share of the trust. She also borrowed from the brokerage's escrow account. Then, increasingly desperate to find the means to sustain her lifestyle, she borrowed from an elderly relative. There were reasons to question whether the relative understood the terms of the borrowing, which were on favorable terms to the sister. The sister did not make payments under this loan. Another relative, now managing the elderly relative's affairs, demanded payment and when the sister refused, the relative sued the sister for breach of trust and nonpayment. Further, during the course of these events, the sister also ran up significant liabilities to the IRS. The brother grew gravely concerned, as he knew the sister's actions could destroy the brokerage and their reputations. Historically, the brother had mostly deferred to the sister; now, he realized he had to take a greater role in the management of the brokerage. He saw a need for immediate action, such as the sister filing for bankruptcy. On the other hand, the sister wanted to contest the step-relative's lawsuit. The siblings retained us to address the issues impacting the brokerage. Initially, it proved very difficult to develop a plan that both siblings accepted. The sister continued in her desire to contest the lawsuit. We encouraged the sister to explore all available practical alternatives to filing bankruptcy and contesting the lawsuit, as her commitment to any plan we developed was crucial and she had to come to see that realistically, there was no other path. After many months of consultations and evaluation of different options, the sister acknowledged that there was no alternative. We developed a plan that contained three steps, which the siblings agreed to implement: 1) the sister would file for bankruptcy; 2) she would sell her only remaining asset of value (a beachfront vacation home) to pay the IRS debt, as that would not have been dischargeable in bankruptcy, and 3) attempt to settle the lawsuit. There were no guaranties that the last element would succeed; the step-relative could not be forced to accept a settlement. Still, after many months of discussions, and a great deal of effort to develop trust between the lawyers, a settlement was finally reached. The sister filed for bankruptcy six weeks after the settlement. The brokerage survived, but underlying tension remained between the siblings, as both had to adjust to the brother’s assertion of greater authority in their relationship.

- [Asset Distribution • thebloomgroupllc.com/an-asset-distribution-plan-that-produced-family-acrimony/](https://thebloomgroupllc.com/an-asset-distribution-plan-that-produced-family-acrimony/): Home A mother was finalizing her estate plan and in connection with that, asked us to prepare and submit an asset distribution plan to her three sons. The plan reflected the mother’s intention that her assets would be equally divided. To her surprise, the disclosure ignited a firestorm of controversy among the three sons that threatened not only to frustrate the mother’s goals but also to embroil the family in litigation, if not before her death, then almost certainly after it. The issue revolved around the perception held by two of the brothers that the mother had favored the third at their expense. The basis for much of the dispute was an investment the mother had made in an engineering services company that the third son had started. We recommended that the mother disclose the details of that investment, but the mother was very reluctant, believing that she owed no duty to discuss why she made some of the decisions she had with what she characterized as “my money.” Eventually, she agreed to disclose some of those details, and also provided a detailed memo explaining how she had determined the asset distribution plan. While these disclosures did not immediately resolve the controversy, they did reduce the amount of resentment the two brothers had. After a few months of phone and email communications, the mother and her sons felt comfortable enough to meet in one place without any professionals, to talk face-to-face about mother’s estate plan. After that meeting, the mother made some modifications to the distribution plan to address the issues raised by the two sons. At the very least, these adjustments sent the message to the sons that she did hear their concerns. The threat of any litigation abated. The plan was implemented with those adjustments incorporated.
