Why choose a solicitor

When there’s a business involved, divorce is a financial case

Where there’s a company, property, pensions or inherited wealth at stake, the settlement is only as good as the advice behind it. Our family team draws on EMW’s corporate and commercial expertise that most family firms simply don’t have, so your settlement reflects how your assets actually work.

Complex finances, understood

Company interests, shareholdings, trusts, pensions and inherited wealth, properly valued and protected.

Corporate expertise in-house

We collaborate with our corporate and commercial colleagues to analyse business structures with precision.

Resolution members

Constructive, solution-focused practice that reduces conflict, with robust litigation when it’s needed.

Protecting your assets

Freezing orders and set-aside applications where a party tries to hide or move assets.

Common Questions

Business interests, shareholdings and company structures form part of the financial picture. We work with our corporate colleagues and forensic accountants to value them accurately and protect your position.

We can apply for freezing orders and to set aside transactions, preserving the matrimonial estate and preventing assets from being dissipated or moved outside the jurisdiction.

Not necessarily. As Resolution members we resolve matters constructively wherever possible, through negotiation, mediation, arbitration and private FDRs, but we’re fully prepared to litigate robustly if needed.

Pensions, trusts and inherited or pre-acquired wealth are all considered. We advise on how the court is likely to treat them and how to protect your core assets.

Yes. A financial settlement is made binding through a court order, giving both parties certainty and finality once the divorce is finalised.

If you have business interests, inheritances or generational wealth to protect, a properly prepared nuptial agreement can carry significant weight. We can advise on and draft one for you.
