Chester Willcox Partners to Form New Firm

Columbus, Ohio-based lawyers J. Richard Emens and Beatrice Wolper, until recently partners at Chester Willcox & Saxbe, are founding their own family business law firm.

Emens & Wolper was launched in April. Emens, 74, and Wolper, 63, are married and worked together at Chester Willcox for 12 years.

In 1998, Emens and Wolper co-founded the Conway Family Business Center, a family entrepreneur and education center. They teach courses on entrepreneurship and business succession.
