Family law specialists in complex financial and related property issues on divorce
International expertise -we frequently resolve cases involving substantial assets in the UK and around the world.
We understand that some clients may be intimidated by a spouse’s complex financial arrangements. You may fear that assets will be hidden or dissipated to defeat your financial claims. We can assist by providing a clear strategy, backed by formidable negotiation skills, to achieve the desired settlement.
A financially literate team, we routinely deal with complex financial arrangements, including complicated remuneration packages, deferred bonus arrangements, international corporate financial structures, and family trusts.
We understand that trusts really do matter. Many settlors and beneficiaries mistakenly believe that assets held within a trust are protected and ring fenced in the divorce process. They are wrong.
Financial remedy claims on divorce involve the court identifying the resources available to each spouse and performing a discretionary exercise in computing a percentage division of those available resources, for division between the parties.
Wholly discretionary trusts are no exception. The court may treat a beneficiary spouse of a discretionary trust as having trust assets, or some part of them, at his/her disposal, such that they are an available resource.
