BUFFALO, NY- The Managing Partner of Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman LLP, Scott E. Friedman, presented to a group of women accountants, members of ASWA, at an annual conference held on June 15, and organized by the accounting firm, Chiampou Travis Besaw & Kershner LLP.

Mr. Friedman was invited to participate as a guest lecturer on the topic of successful practices with a family-run business because of his thorough knowledge on the subject as a result of experiences within his own family. He has authored four books on the subject, and is currently working in the writing stages of his fifth book.

An integral component of the presentation is a concept developed by Mr. Friedman himself, known as the ‘Family Business Scorecard.’ The scorecard serves as a method of evaluation for members of a family-run business to help distinguish successful and failing behaviors.

LMWF law firm was founded in 1965 and is a broadly-based practice with emphasis in the areas of business and financial transactions, litigation, commercial real estate and development, immigration, employee benefits and employment practices, estate planning, and intellectual property.
