Our family law team represents high-net worth clients with substantial assets and family disputes, often with an international element. When a relationship breaks down the consequences for those involved will often include stress, insecurity and financial upheaval. Emotions are likely to be running high but important decisions with long term consequences may need to be made quickly to protect the parties’ interests.
When someone is in the public eye the emotional pressures can be magnified by intrusive press interest, often fuelled by damaging disclosures of private information. The personal and financial consequences of the resulting reputational damage can be devastating.
Financial upheaval is a feature of most relationship breakdowns but where significant wealth and complex financial issues are involved individuals need the benefit of specialist and experienced advice and guidance.
In an increasingly mobile world our clients’ relationships and interests often span international borders giving rise to complex legal and cultural issues which we are experienced in handling.
Schillings specialise in advising high net worth and high profile individuals and families in all aspects of divorce and relationship breakdown. In doing so we employ our pre-eminent experience in the area of reputation management to ensure that damaging press coverage does not make matters worse.
Whilst always handling matters sensitively we recognise that at a time when our clients may be feeling vulnerable and isolated they appreciate us employing the same robust, forensic and tactically astute approach which is Schillings’ hallmark.
Schillings set new precedent in divorce law when we represented Shan Lambert in her ground breaking appeal. For the first time in history a wife received half the assets in a big money divorce.
