Family
The formation of relationships often raises issues regarding the preservation of generational wealth whilst relationship breakdown can frequently be accompanied by stress and financial upheaval. With current trends suggesting that almost half of all marriages in England & Wales will end in divorce, reducing the potential fallout has never been more important.
Why we are different
A family problem or relationship breakdown is seldom easy. However, those with significant wealth or who lead lives in the public eye have an extra burden. Not only can problems be extremely draining emotionally and financially, they also have the potential to damage careers.
Our team specialises in assisting UK and international high net worth and high profile individuals. By gaining a clear understanding of our clients' aims and the issues involved we are able to focus on providing solutions that minimise unnecessary hostility and successfully resolve even the most complex domestic and international matters.
We resolve issues with discretion and sensitivity - ensuring that your interests and those of your children come first. If it becomes necessary to take an issue to court, then we can work with your other advisers to mitigate any potential reputation management issues.
