Untangling your finances during divorce is even more complicated for high net worth individuals. In this case, your assets are likely to be held in complex structures, demanding specialist handling.

The court requires that you make full and frank disclosure of your finances. Despite this, with high net worth divorce cases there is often the threat of non-disclosure. Your partner may seek to conceal part of their wealth, transfer it from a matrimonial bank account to a non-matrimonial bank account, or make it inaccessible and tied up in complex corporate structures or offshore trusts.

In these situations, you’ll need someone on your side to act quickly and file a freezing order to ensure the divorce proceeds with the full financial picture in mind. Our team of elite family lawyers have a stellar track record of supporting those with high value assets through every stage of the divorce process. We maintain the highest level of confidentiality and discretion, whilst ensuring you receive the best settlement for your life after divorce.

If you have made a special contribution to your marriage, protecting and preserving your high value or inherited assets is important. We can help you establish what assets are matrimonial and what assets are non-matrimonial, making sure you retain what’s rightfully yours.

Beyond this, we can maintain the health of your asset collection, managing diverse investment portfolios, pension funds, and offering guidance on retirement, life insurance estate, and tax planning. Our team of lawyers and partner financial planners specialise in helping high net worth individuals preserve, grow, and pass on their wealth in the best way.

A high net worth individual is defined as anyone who has at least £1 million in liquid financial assets, including:

If you’re a high net worth individual it is likely you will also hold significant non-liquid assets which might comprise:

• Land and property assets
• Stocks
• Collectibles
• Private equity
• Intangible assets

Regardless of the exact makeup of your financial portfolio, we’ll work with you long term to manage and protect your assets no matter what you and your family are going through. Whatever happens, we’ll be here.
