Advising a client in a complex financial dispute involving issues of non-disclosure and cross-border tax and inheritance points

We acted for a wife in a multi-million pound financial dispute involving a number of difficult issues, including initial non-disclosure by the husband, major assets abroad and uncertain tax problems, and a large inheritance received by the wife during the divorce resulting in a major dispute about the treatment of her post acquired wealth. Experts were required in relation to accountancy, tax and property and we eventually managed to negotiate a successful settlement without the need for contested proceedings.

Advising a client in a complex relocation and schooling case

We acted for a client in a complex relocation and schooling case involving a young child. Medical evidence was required in relation to both parents, along with multiple witness evidence. We successfully argued against a fact-finding hearing and reached a negotiated settlement.

Advising a client in relation to a complex cross jurisdictional finance case

We acted for a client in relation to their divorce and financial remedy proceedings, with cross jurisdiction complexities and various company and security/enforcement issues. We advised the client on all aspects of the case and settled the case following a successful negotiation.

Advising a client in relation to financial remedy proceedings following short childless marriage

We acted for a client in relation to divorce and financial remedy proceedings, following a short and childless marriage, in which we reached a very satisfactory settlement following a private financial dispute resolution hearing. There were cross-border issues and a single joint expert had to be instructed in relation to the husband’s financial services company.
