High Net Worth Divorce

Where couples have built significant wealth, either individually or together, it can be a stressful time when it comes to dividing the assets in a divorce.

There may be a need for company valuations, dealing with land, and assessing assets in other jurisdictions.

Our lawyers have expertise in dealing with these kinds of High Net Worth divorces.

The first step is to understand more about you and your partner’s income, savings, assets, and pension arrangements. Then we can think about the best way to accommodate your future financial needs.

In HNW divorces, the assets of both parties can be difficult to divide easily. You might have a mixture of the following:

• Business assets
• Trusts
• Inherited assets
• Offshore trusts
• Property overseas
• School fees
• Pensions
• Investments

Each of those assets presents its own challenges when it comes to divorce. Our team has experience in dealing with these issues, and we can help you achieve a financial settlement that’s fair, taking all of these assets into consideration.

One of the trickiest parts in detangling the assets in HNW divorce, is locating all the assets to begin with. Both parties should be transparent in the process. If you think your spouse hasn’t disclosed all of their assets, then we can help you find any hidden assets.

We’re experienced in interpreting complex remuneration schemes to understand exactly what you’re entitled to. In cases where one or both partners own a business, we instruct experts to give you an accurate valuation to help us find a fair settlement of the business assets.

We're here to support you through the process so that you can transition into the next chapter of your life with confidence

If you have children, then you’ll have their welfare at the front of your mind when you’re thinking about divorce. We can help you achieve the maintenance you need so that you and your family can continue your standard of living. And we’ll help you work out living arrangements and how much time the children will spend with each parent.

In all matters of divorce, we try to work as collaboratively as possible. We’ll try mediation in most cases, to give you a chance to find a settlement between you and your spouse. Where we need to get the court involved, we present your case robustly and support you all the way.
