Family firms form the majority of companies in almost every country in the world. The organization of the founding families, however, does not play a big role in corporate governance theory and practice. German family firms have created a relatively new form of family firm governance and organization: the family office. This specific form of organization deals with family organization, financial assets, and general family consulting.
