We advise individuals and families on relationship planning, divorce and the financial consequences of separation, acting for clients in the UK and internationally. Many of our matters involve substantial wealth, family businesses, trusts, offshore assets and complex ownership structures.
Relationship breakdown can have significant personal and financial implications. We work closely with clients to understand their priorities, develop clear strategies and provide advice tailored to their circumstances and objectives.
Our team advises on all aspects of matrimonial finance, including pre- and post-nuptial agreements, financial settlements, maintenance claims, trust-related issues, financial provision for children and disputes involving unmarried couples. We also advise on asset protection, including obtaining and resisting freezing injunctions where there are concerns about the dissipation of assets. Where required, we provide robust representation through court proceedings.
Drawing on expertise across our Private Wealth specialism, including tax, trusts, residential real estate and disputes, we provide coordinated advice reflecting the complexity of our clients' affairs. Many matters involve international elements and cross-border assets.
Combining specialist expertise, insight and commercial judgement, we help clients navigate complex family and financial matters with clarity and confidence, focusing on outcomes that protect their interests and support future planning.
