    Divorce & Finance Legal Services

Relationship breakdown is inevitably stressful, particularly where complex financial situations are involved. Sadly, the apparent lack of clarity in the law can often aggravate the situation.

Our divorce & finances legal expertise

Our family law specialists can give you clear advice on all financial aspects of divorce. We have a wealth of experience in the most challenging cases and routinely deal with high-value claims involving complex trust structures, offshore assets, significant businesses, inherited wealth, tax concerns and a broad range of international issues.

Negotiating a financial settlement is rarely straightforward: litigating a case almost never is. We take a pragmatic, realistic and commercial approach to our work with you. We are committed to achieving the best outcome, to reaching that outcome in the best way and protecting your privacy. We are among the most effective litigators in the jurisdictions where we operate and are well versed in all forms of non-court dispute resolution, settling a high proportion of cases away from the Courts.

We work alongside our colleagues specialising in tax, trusts & succession, commercial litigation, company and property law across our UK and international offices when required. This ensures you are provided with a full service bespoke legal team which can deal with all issues that may arise. This also makes us a natural choice for trustees and other third parties who find themselves involved in divorce proceedings.

Our approach is tailored to each individual case. We deliver commercial, objective and practical advice to enable you to make the right decision. Clients benefit from our approachability, understanding and realistic perspective.
