Where You’ve Seen Us

Divorce and Company Assets Explained

A common misconception among business owners is that enterprises predating a relationship are ring-fenced from the divorce process. The reality is that the courts will consider any and all assets when trying to reach a completely fair outcome. And sometimes this leads to the division of a company.

Lowry Legal’s experience with business assets in divorce cases means we are perfectly placed to provide guidance for both perspectives. If you want to safeguard the future of your prized asset, we can help you understand the most suitable strategies. Alternatively, if all you want is to secure a fair share of the spoils at the end of your relationship, we’ll ensure that you adopt the optimal route towards your preferred outcome.

“A high-octane team large enough for a wealth of expertise and experience but small enough to have rich discussions, pool ideas and know their clients and cases personally.”

How Lowry Legal Can Help

When business assets in divorce need to be valued, we take care to work towards maximum accuracy. This crucial step can set you up for a fairer division when separation is finalised.

We can assess the level of liquidity in the business, while also considering other alternatives, such as dividends being taken out to pay off your former partner.

Other strategies for divorce and company assets could include the transfer of shares between spouses, or even a sale. Whichever approach is seen as being preferable, we can advise on the most tax-efficient way of dealing with the sale of shareholdings.

Working in conjunction with third parties, such as accountants and financial experts, we can secure your desired results for business assets in divorce.
