When couples split up, it can be a complex and highly emotive task to work out a fair division of the assets. We may need to consider UK property, investments, savings and pensions and the cost of raising children. There may be assets or businesses abroad – or issues over children moving to another country.
The situation for every couple is different. Before any decisions can be made, we work closely with both parties to build up a clear financial picture. From there we can open negotiations until a fair financial settlement is reached that works for everyone. Or, as a last resort, help you get what you are due in court.
How we support you:
- Deliver strategic, discreet advice around your financial position and entitlements.
- Oversee full and transparent disclosure of all financial assets.
- Analyse complex assets, including property, investments, businesses and pensions.
- Negotiate settlements that align with your long-term objectives.
- Collaborate with your other advisers to ensure a seamless process.
- Provide assured representation in court if an agreement cannot be made.
Taking a pragmatic approach
Drawing on decades of experience, we bring clarity and strategy to complex financial scenarios. Meticulous and discreet – we build a complete understanding of your position before advising you on the most appropriate course of action. Wherever possible, we seek to find resolution through negotiation. Where that cannot be achieved, we provide strong, decisive representation in court.
