London Divorce Solicitors

We acted in a £30 million case following a 24-year marriage, involving multiple properties, offshore entities and remuneration trusts linked to a global family business. The couple enjoyed an exceptionally high standard of living but the other party failed to disclose key financial details, including misleading income and asset information. Through forensic investigation, we uncovered documentation showing tax-free income routed through a remuneration trust - an attempt to conceal substantial wealth.

Outcome: Our expertise in uncovering hidden assets and navigating intricate financial structures ensured transparency and a fair settlement.

We acted in a £46 million matter following a 50-year marriage, involving offshore property and bonds, international company interests and significant pension holdings. As neither party sought divorce, the agreement was structured without a final court order. Careful valuation was essential and our client secured a portfolio of more liquid, lower-risk assets, ensuring financial security and flexibility.

Outcome: This case highlights our expertise in complex asset structures, non-divorce settlements and delivering solutions that prioritise long-term protection.

We acted in a £51.7 million case involving luxury holiday homes, hospitality businesses and properties in the UK and France. The parties also owned a prestigious car collection valued at £7 - £13 million. Severe health concerns made time critical, requiring a settlement structured with protective provisions to safeguard our client’s financial security in the event of the other party’s passing. This matter demanded a sensitive, strategic approach to valuation and risk management, balancing urgency with long-term stability.

Outcome: Our expertise in high-value, time-sensitive cases ensured a tailored and secure resolution.

We represented the wife in a high-value divorce involving an estate worth £80 – £90 million. The case included a £18 – £20 million London property and homes in Florida and Canada. A major success was challenging the husband’s £150,000 valuation of a financial business, securing a revised figure of £11 million. The parties also held multiple company shareholdings and valuable possessions requiring formal valuation. Central to the dispute were two substantial offshore family trusts, with arguments over whether they were matrimonial or non-matrimonial assets.

Outcome: Our expertise in trust structures, international holdings, and forensic valuation ensured a fair and well-informed settlement for our client.

Our client, the wife of a successful businessman, discovered that marital assets and the family business were tied up in complex trust structures. Working with forensic experts, we proved these were accessible and revealed a much larger matrimonial acquest than claimed.

Outcome: Our client received a settlement aligned with the lifestyle enjoyed during the marriage.
