How our Divorce Solicitors can help you
High Net Worth Divorce applications
Regardless of your financial circumstances and the arrangements you plan to make as part of your divorce, the application process always follows the same essential steps. It is vital that you have an expert by your side when initiating a divorce, whether you intend to make a sole application, joint application, or are responding to an application made by your former partner.
Our team will ensure that you clearly understand what steps need to be taken, how any delays can be minimised, and what your rights and responsibilities are.
While we are supporting you with a divorce application, we can start to consider some of the important arrangements that commonly arise from a high net worth divorce, including those involving your finances and children.
Divorce and Finances
Negotiating a suitable financial settlement will, understandably, be a primary concern during a high net worth divorce. The higher the value of assets which need to be considered, the more complex negotiations have the potential to be, which is why it is crucial you have the support of a legal expert with specialist expertise in negotiating high-value settlements.
Our High Net Worth Divorce Solicitors and Lawyers are experienced in working with clients with a range of complex asset and income structures including businesses and trusts.
Where required, we will also work closely with our Property, Trusts and Corporate specialists, as well as our network of Independent Financial Advisors, tax experts, pension experts and forensic accountants to offer a comprehensive service for our clients.

Arrangements for Children
Divorce and separation can be very upsetting and unsettling for children, so it is important that their welfare remains a top priority.
During a divorce, we can help negotiate a suitable arrangement with your former partner, securing a positive outcome for your children while protecting your interests as a parent. Wherever possible, we will attempt to resolve matters outside of court. That said, if court action is required to reach a positive outcome, we can take you through the process in a sensitive and child-focused manner.
