Business Owners Divorce

Divorcing as a business owner brings unique challenges. You’ll need specialist legal and financial help when facing a family break-up.

Our divorce solicitors understand all the issues business owning families face with divorce.

Sympathetic legal experts working towards minimum disruption

Divorce is a stressful process for anyone and in the case of business owning families it brings with it its own set of issues and challenges. We understand these challenges and will work sympathetically towards a fair outcome with the least disruption to the family and the business.

Protecting your wealth and assets in divorce

Challenges faced during divorce where a business is concerned arise around the ownership of assets and how the income from these is shared out between the two parties. We will work out the classification of assets between matrimonial and non-matrimonial and ensure both parties get a fair share of these assets with the minimum disruption to business activities. If property or shares need to be sold, we will help the process run as smoothly as possible. We can also help with pre- and post-nuptial agreements to protect your future interests.

Minimising the impact on your family during divorce

The welfare of any children in the marriage or partnership is always the prime consideration
in any divorce proceedings. Our family law solicitors have the knowledge and experience to help your family deal with the issues that come from the relationship breakdown and impact this can have on children.

The team at Tees is exceptional when it comes to corporate and commercial. Their tenacity and understanding of our business were excellent, as well as their understanding of a commercial deal that was not always straightforward.
