Peter Lowe to Join Panel on Navigating Conflict in Family Businesses
Brann & Isaacson attorney Peter Lowe will participate in “Communication & Conflict: Handling Hard Conversations Without Breaking What Matters,” presented by the Institute for Family-Owned Business on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
The panel will explore how family businesses can approach conflict arising from major decisions, changes in direction, employee concerns, succession planning, growth, and unexpected disruptions. Speakers will offer practical perspectives on managing disagreements, strengthening teams, and addressing the personal histories and long-standing dynamics that can make communication within family businesses especially complex.
The discussion will be moderated by Tara Jenkins of Conscious Revolution. Peter will be joined by Dave Ciullo of Career Management Associates.
