Matrimonial matters
Nowadays, divorce settlements are based around fair division of income and assets, requiring full disclosure of both parties’ financial affairs. It is frequently necessary to value business interests such as shareholdings or partnerships, which previously might have been set aside if sufficient other resources had been available.Using our specialist expertise, we can act for either applicants or respondents; we can also be appointed as experts by both parties, where joint instructions can reduce the overall burden of costs. Specifically, we handle matters such as:
- Business valuations
- Review of profits, especially where credibility or the completeness of disclosure are in doubt
- Liquidity issues – such as availability of funds from a business or shareholding
- Pension provision
