As a business owner, divorce has more than just relationship and legal implications. Your business may be directly involved in the divorce, which can have a significant impact on the continuity of your business and your financial future. Do you have a business partner? Is it a family business? It is therefore essential that you retain an experienced family lawyer who understands the complexities of your business and personal situation.
Together with your financial advisor, we will create a strategic plan to best represent and value your business. Have you built up reserves? What do you need to move forward? Many people marry under a pre-nuptial agreement. We will consider the implications for you, advise you and guide you through the divorce process.
Of course, a positive cash flow does not necessarily mean that the business is viable. The situation in which the business finds itself is always important. Do you need to make short-term investments? Do you need to build up reserves to meet future financial obligations? Is there a pension scheme? It is important for the lawyer/mediator to have a complete picture of the company and how it is doing, what the plans are for the future and what has happened in the past. What the assets are worth and whether there are any hidden reserves. The combination of this information will ultimately lead to a proper calculation of assets and liabilities, based on the actual state of the business at the reference date.
Our family law solicitors have extensive experience and specialise in guiding business owners through this difficult time. We will ensure that both your personal and business interests are protected so that you can continue to focus on your business.
