High Net Worth Divorce

Experienced Representation For Business Owners And Professionals

Business owners, business executives, doctors, lawyers and other highly compensated professionals face complex issues above and beyond typical property division issues in divorce. In the case of business owners, aside from certain office assets, there may be nothing tangible to divide — it is not possible to sell a reputation, for example.

In the case of high-asset professionals, they may have incentives, various forms of income, performance units, restricted and phantom stock, future options, and discretionary incentive packages present complicated issues that require the knowledge and expertise of an experienced legal team.

We take a personalized approach to each client’s case, with experience and knowledge to handle whatever approach will work best.
