High Net Worth Divorce

High Net-Worth Divorce

We take a strategic approach to high-value divorces—safeguarding assets, navigating complex financial issues, and ensuring your rights are fully protected at every stage.

Protecting your wealth, planning your future.

Divorces involving substantial assets require more than legal expertise, they demand precision, discretion, and strategic planning. High net-worth divorces often involve business interests, real estate portfolios, family trusts, pensions, or international assets, making property division far more complex than a typical separation.

We guide clients through high-value separations with tailored strategies that protect financial futures while minimizing conflict. Whether your priorities are preserving business continuity, safeguarding generational wealth, or uncovering undisclosed assets, we create a legal plan that works for you.

What makes High Net-Worth Divorce complex?

  • Private corporations and business valuations
  • Family trusts, inheritances, and excluded property
  • Tax implications and capital gains planning
  • Real estate and investment portfolios
  • Hidden or offshore assets
  • Support claims tied to high or fluctuating income

These cases often require collaboration with forensic accountants, tax specialists, and valuation experts. We manage these professionals on your behalf, keeping the process organized, efficient, and focused on your goals.

How we can help:

  • Identifying and separating family property from excluded assets
  • Coordinating business valuations and income assessments
  • Advising on tracing and reapportionment of excluded property
  • Handling complex financial disclosure and asset division
  • Drafting enforceable separation agreements tailored to your financial realities
  • Litigating when necessary to achieve a fair and lawful outcome

With a clear, strategic approach, we protect your assets, plan for tomorrow, and advocate for your rights every step of the way.
