Overview

Protecting your interests in high net worth divorce

Protecting your wealth

Divorce in wealthy families where there are for example businesses, multiple land and property interests and or international assets can be extremely complex. At a time of personal upheaval, it is important to have advisers who understand both the financial detail and the wider family impact.

Divorce involving complex business and family assets

We regularly advise individuals with business interests, trusts, partnerships, landed estates and farming assets. Our priority is to protect what matters most to you and to reach an outcome that safeguards both your wealth and your future.

International assets

Where wealth is held across borders — whether through overseas property, investment vehicles, companies or family trusts — and where families are internationally mobile, the jurisdiction you choose for divorce can have a decisive impact on the outcome.

Working with specialist foreign lawyers, we ensure that clients’ interests are protected when there is an international dimension to their divorce.
