High Net Worth Divorce

Going through a divorce is an extremely stressful and difficult time, not to mention the huge financial impact that it can have. High net worth divorces are particularly complex, so it’s essential for you to know that your interests will be well protected.

High net worth divorce solicitors: Expert legal advice

Our specialist high net worth divorce solicitors regularly advise wealthy individuals including business owners and entrepreneurs, CEOs, financiers, landowners and internationally mobile families, and will guide you through every step of the process.

High net worth divorces are very rarely straightforward. For divorces that involve businesses, complex corporate structures and inter-company loans can hinder transparency and require unpicking in order to fully understand the legal and commercial position. In such cases our specialist high net worth solicitors will work closely with financial experts to ensure that we can secure you the best possible outcome. 

Our roots are in the farming community and we’ve been providing expert legal advice to landowners and farming families for over a century. We understand the importance of protecting farming family wealth through the careful structuring of discretionary trusts and partnership agreements. 

You or your spouse may own multiple properties or have financial interests abroad. If your divorce goes to Court, we can advise you on how to secure the most favourable jurisdiction in which to file for divorce.  Where significant assets and Trusts are located overseas, we will work to ensure full disclosure is made.

The family team is very experienced, client focused and able to offer specialist advice in all areas of family law. It approaches cases pragmatically and considers all aspects of non court dispute resolution as a method to assist its clients to find resolution to issues relating to finance and child arrangements.

We are here to help and can advise you on:

  • Defining matrimonial and non-matrimonial assets, including pre-acquired assets
  • Child maintenance and spousal provisions, including education fees 
  • Farming family wealth including Trusts and Partnership Agreements
  • Complex income structures, pensions and the treatment of future income
  • Trusts, including international Trusts and offshore assets
  • Corporate relocation and expatriate arrangements
  • Understanding complex business structures

Frequently asked questions

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
