Services and offer on High-Net-Worth Divorce
Complex Asset Structures: Real Estate, Corporate Holdings, Foundations
In high-value divorces, the division of assets often involves far more than conventional savings or investments. Domestic and international holding structures, investment vehicles, family foundations, and international trusts may all play a significant role in wealth management and must be carefully considered in the context of asset division. In these situations, divorce and subsequent division proceedings frequently raise questions as to whether assets have been concealed, restructured, or transferred in advance in order to reduce the other spouse’s claims. Addressing such issues requires a precise legal and financial analysis in order to establish transparency and accurately assess the true economic circumstances. The legal questions involved typically extend beyond family law and often overlap with corporate law, foundation law, and real estate law.
Interdisciplinary Expertise: Family Law, Corporate Law, Tax Law
Successfully enforcing or defending asset division claims requires expertise across multiple areas of law. In addition to comprehensive family law knowledge, an in-depth understanding of corporate structures, foundation law, real estate law, and – in international matters – private international law is essential. Equally important are the tax implications of asset division, including issues relating to company valuations, real estate taxation, and cross-border tax matters. Strategic planning in these areas can significantly affect the long-term outcome of the proceedings.
