Understand Your Situation
Specialist financial settlements for doctors, solicitors, accountants, and partners in professional firms where complex business structures are involved.
Divorce involving professional practices requires a deep understanding of partnership agreements and business valuations. The court must decide how to treat a partner's interest in a firm—whether it is a realisable asset or a source of future income. This is complicated by 'work in progress' (WIP), capital accounts, and the specific rules of the professional body involved.
Legislation & Rights
A confidential consultation provides a clear view of how a partnership interest is treated in a divorce and what steps are needed to protect it.
Plan Your Defence
In these cases, the 'fairness checklist' must be applied to complex income structures, including bonuses and drawings. The focus is on protecting the viability of the professional practice while ensuring a fair settlement. Legal representation involves working with forensic accountants to value the business interest and managing the impact of the divorce on professional reputations and partnership obligations.
Defence & Evidence
Specialist legal advice ensures that business valuations are accurate and that the settlement reflects the technical realities of a professional practice.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
