When a relationship ends, dividing finances can be one of the most challenging and contentious aspects of the process.

Whether you’re divorcing, separating, or ending a cohabiting relationship, achieving a fair financial settlement requires independent, expert legal advice and a strong understanding of your long-term needs.

We support individuals around the world with all aspects of financial separation.

From divorce settlements to cohabitation disputes under TOLATA, we take a calm, strategic approach that protects your financial wellbeing and helps you move forward with confidence.

Financial clarity during emotional times

We understand that emotions often run high when discussing money and assets. That’s why we work sensitively, discreetly and with a firm focus on securing a resolution that works for you and your family.

We regularly advise on:

• Divorce-related financial settlements
• Division of property, pensions, business assets and savings
• Spousal maintenance and ongoing support
• Child maintenance and financial provision for children
• Cohabitation breakdowns and property disputes (TOLATA claims)
• Financial arrangements for unmarried parents
• Hidden or non-disclosed assets
• Enforcing or challenging existing financial orders

We’ll help you understand your rights, negotiate fair terms, and represent you tenaciously in court proceedings.

Expertise across families and financial structures

Every financial settlement is different. You may be dealing with inherited wealth, a family business, international assets or unequal contributions to property.

Our team has extensive experience working with high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and families with complex financial structures around the world, particularly in the USA, Canada, Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates.

For cohabiting couples, we advise on property ownership and contributions under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act (TOLATA), helping you assert your interests where the law provides limited automatic protection.
