Divorce & financial settlements
When a relationship breaks down, complex financial situations can make things more stressful. Unfortunately, the lack of clarity in the law often adds to this stress.
Our divorce & financial settlement expertise
Our team of family law specialists can provide you with clear and concise advice on all financial aspects related to divorce. We have extensive experience in handling the most complex cases, including high-value claims that involve intricate trust structures, offshore assets, significant businesses, inherited wealth, tax concerns, and a wide range of international issues. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible outcome while ensuring that your financial interests are protected. We have acted in many of the leading reported cases, including in the UK Court of Appeal – a list of our reported cases is available here.
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, and to reaching that outcome in the best way while 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 court.
We work alongside our colleagues specialising in tax, trusts & succession, commercial litigation, reputation management, 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 makes us a natural choice for trustees, foundation members 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. You will benefit from our approachability, understanding and realistic perspective.
