High Net Worth Divorce Solicitors

Experience Matters in High Net Worth Divorce

Divorce is rarely straightforward, but for those with significant wealth or complex financial arrangements, the stakes are even higher. Our high net worth divorce solicitors have extensive experience handling divorces involving businesses and business assets, property portfolios, overseas assets and trusts. Here at Tyrer Roxburgh, we advise company directors, professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals with inherited or family wealth on how to divide assets fairly and protect long-term financial interests under the laws of England and Wales.

We Understand Complex Financial Arrangements

A typical divorce settlement might deal with a family home, savings, and pensions. In divorces involving high net worth individuals, however, assets can be more diverse and complex. Our specialist high net worth divorce solicitors understand how these assets are treated under English family law and how to achieve a fair outcome without unnecessary conflict.

Business Ownership and Directorships

Many high net worth clients have business interests, either as sole traders, partners, or company directors. We work with financial experts to assess your business’s true value and safeguard its continued operation.

Property Portfolios and Real Estate

Owning multiple properties can create complications, particularly where homes are located abroad or held in corporate names. Our team helps clients navigate these complexities to achieve a settlement that reflects genuine ownership and contribution.

Trusts and Offshore Accounts

Trusts and offshore holdings can make financial disclosure more challenging. We can trace how and when the assets were created, who controls them, and whether they are likely to be treated as available for distribution.

Investments, Shares, and Stock Options

High-value shareholdings, investments, and incentive schemes are common in high net worth divorces. They often fluctuate in value and may be subject to restrictions or vesting conditions. We’ll advise you on realistic valuations and fair division methods that take future earnings into account.

Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets

Digital currencies can be hard to trace and are prone to significant value changes. Tyrer Roxburgh’s team is experienced in identifying crypto assets, working with forensic accountants when necessary, and ensuring they are properly disclosed and included in divorce settlement discussions.

How High Net Worth Divorce Solicitors Protect Your Interests

A solicitor experienced in high net worth divorce can take proactive steps to protect your position from the outset.

Identifying and Valuing Assets

The first step in any financial settlement is full disclosure via a Form E. Tyrer Roxburgh works to identify all assets, including those held in complex structures such as companies or trusts. Independent valuations are often obtained to give a realistic picture of your overall wealth.

Preventing Hidden or Transferred Wealth

In some cases, one party may attempt to conceal or transfer assets before or during divorce proceedings. We can take swift action through the courts, such as obtaining freezing injunctions or disclosure orders, to prevent this.

Negotiating Fair Financial Settlements

Negotiations are based on accurate information about the value of your assets and each party’s financial needs. Our experienced high net worth divorce solicitors aim to reach a fair agreement through discussion and mediation where possible, but we will also prepare strong representation if court proceedings are necessary.

Securing Interim Financial Support

Divorce can take time, and you may need temporary financial support while proceedings are ongoing. Your solicitor can apply for maintenance pending suit or other interim orders to cover living expenses and legal costs until a final settlement is reached.

Protecting Confidentiality

High-profile or business-owning clients often wish to keep their financial affairs private. Tyrer Roxburgh handles all matters discreetly and can apply for reporting restrictions or private hearings where appropriate.

Our Areas of Expertise in High Net Worth Divorce

High net worth divorces often involve assets that go far beyond savings and property. Tyrer Roxburgh’s solicitors are experienced in managing the complex financial and legal issues that arise when wealth is tied to business ownership, international property, or investment structures.

Business Assets in a Divorce

Business assets are often central to high net worth divorces. Whether you own a business outright or hold a stake in one, its value may be taken into account when dividing marital wealth. Distinguishing between what is a matrimonial asset (built during the marriage) and what is non-matrimonial (acquired before marriage or inherited) can be challenging. This is why we work closely with accountants and valuers to assess the true worth of your business interests.

Limited Company Director Divorce

If you are a company director, your financial position is likely tied to your business in multiple ways, through salary, dividends, and retained profit. The court will take all of these into account when considering your overall income and assets. We regularly advise directors on how to disclose business-related income accurately and present their financial position clearly. We’ll also help identify whether shares should be transferred, sold, or offset against other marital assets as part of the settlement.

Company Shares and Divorce

Company shares can be particularly difficult to divide, especially when they are tied to a family business or a private limited company. The court may consider their value, transferability, and any shareholder agreements that restrict sale or transfer. We advise on fair methods of distribution, including offsetting other assets or providing lump-sum settlements instead of transferring shares.

Cryptocurrency and Divorce

Digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are now a regular feature in high net worth divorces. Cryptocurrency can be volatile and easy to conceal without proper disclosure. Our team at Tyrer Roxburgh understands how to trace and value crypto holdings and how they should be treated in financial settlements under UK law.

Foreign Property and Overseas Assets

When you or your spouse owns property abroad, it can raise questions about jurisdiction, disclosure, and enforcement. Here at Tyrer Roxburgh, we have experience dealing with overseas homes, holiday properties, and investments across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. We work with trusted international partners to obtain accurate valuations and legal documentation to support your case.

Offshore Trusts and Divorce

Trusts are common in high net worth cases, particularly when wealth has been passed down through generations. Whether the trust is based in the UK or offshore, it can still be considered a financial resource available to one spouse. Our high net worth divorce solicitors have extensive experience in analysing trust documents, identifying the settlor, beneficiaries, and trustees, and can determine whether the trust assets should be included in the settlement.

Stock Options and Divorce

Stock options, share schemes, and other incentive-based rewards can represent a significant part of a high net worth individual’s income. These can be complex to value, particularly if they vest in the future or depend on performance conditions. We can advise on how your stock options should be disclosed and divided fairly in a financial settlement.
