Outstanding firms align stars across business lines, geographies, and even generations. All partners in professional firms will recognize themselves and their firms in Aligning the Stars. For CEOs, especially those of us who are new to the position, the practical experience and wisdom here provide guidance and comfort. The central theme-that firm practices and structures must fit both the needs of the business and the needs of the individuals who make it succeed-is fundamental to understanding the delicate balance involved in leading talented, independent professionals.

1. Do Shares to Spouse Equate to a Settlement? [22] My partner and I are commencing a new company. We want to involve our respective spouses, but I am led to believe that there is a potential problem with gifting non-voting shares to them.
