Collaborative law for high net worth Individuals who wish to divorce
Collaborative law provides high net worth individuals with the opportunity to resolve their divorce by engaging in negotiations, supported by their respective lawyer. It can avoid the need to air details of your private and personal life in the courtroom setting. This process addresses practical aspects such as financial settlements and child-related arrangements. Emphasising an amicable environment, collaborative law minimises conflict and empowers the parties to maintain control throughout the proceedings. Additionally, it offers immediate access to specialised advice and guidance from individual lawyers, ensuring confidence that agreements align with each party's best interests and avoiding any compromises that could be detrimental.
Divorce Mediation for High Net Worth Individuals
Many people choose to use mediation as it is a more amicable way to handle a divorce. Our family lawyers play a crucial role in supporting clients through the mediation process. We inform clients about what the mediation process involves, its benefits, and potential outcomes, emphasising that we provide legal advice during this phase. Before mediation sessions, we offer tailored legal guidance, explaining rights, responsibilities, and potential outcomes. We help set realistic expectations and review documents. Post-mediation, we review agreements and guide clients through potential modifications and can draw up the agreement into a legally binding court order. In cases where mediation unfortunately fails or is not suitable, we prepare clients for litigation, informing them about potential court intervention and guide them through the court process. Our goal is to provide comprehensive legal advice and support, empowering clients to make informed decisions.

How can I safeguard my business interests during divorce proceedings?
If you own or hold a stake in a business, it will be taken into consideration as part of the divorce settlement. The conventional approach rarely involves selling or dismantling the business. Common practice generally leans toward preserving the business's value and upholding the welfare of its employees. The usual resolution entails factoring in the business's value within the settlement, yet it can result in your partner receiving a larger portion of other assets in lieu. This adjustment serves to offset their entitlement to a share of your business.
