Join Us for Our Employee Ownership Trusts Webinar

September 2nd, 2025

Thinking about the future of your business—or supporting someone who is? Join PathLight Law attorneys Steve Virgil and Sarah Kaplan for a discussion on employee ownership. During the webinar, we will introduce two business conversion models: the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) and the Worker Cooperative. We will discuss how these models can be used to allow founders to retire or to add more owners mid-career. We will also explore the pros and cons of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), EOTs, and cooperatives to help attendees distinguish which is the right fit. Attendees will hear from businesses who have successfully put succession planning into practice.
