Whilst the legal process for obtaining the divorce itself is straightforward, resolving your finances can be the most challenging and stressful part of the divorce process.
Our team of experts has experience dealing with high profile clients with family wealth or high income. Our aim is to ensure the best outcome for you, quickly, with minimum stress and cost. Whether you are concerned with protecting your assets or ensuring you get your fair share, we will provide a bespoke service based on your individual requirements and objectives.
It is sensible to seek advice at the outset of your divorce, so you are aware of the options available and what is involved. In some cases, it is crucial to take urgent action to protect assets in the UK or elsewhere or to ensure that proceedings are issued in your preferred jurisdiction.
There are many options to explore, with Court proceedings usually being the last option.
Divorce outcomes vary depending on each couples' unique circumstances and contrary to common perception there is no automatic 50-50 division of assets or income.
We can advise you at an early stage as to the options available to you and the likely settlement achievable through the use of the Court process. This will enable you to go enter into negotiations fully informed.
