We specialise in high net worth, complex and international divorce cases and ensure you get a fair share of the family assets. We also advise on Pre and Post Nuptial agreements to help you to protect your wealth for the future and advise on all issues relating to children and their welfare.
Our expertise covers defending and attacking trust structures, complex business valuations and jurisdictional disputes as well as all issues in relation to arrangements for children, including where they will live, adoption, international abduction and paternity disputes.
We represent entrepreneurs, HNW individuals, professional advisers and beneficiaries of both offshore and onshore trusts on financial implications and arrangements for children following a separation or a divorce.
