Matrimonial disputes

The landmark decision by the House of Lords in White v White in 2001 has changed the basis on which financial settlements in many matrimonial proceedings are reached, particularly where those assets include shares in private companies.

The overriding aim of Robertson Milroy is to explain clearly the financial issues to aid the cost effective settlement of disputes. We offer our team's extensive experience to provide independent and objective advice in the financial aspects of matrimonial disputes, including:-

• An initial assessment of the value of shares in private companies
• Evaluating the ability of the parties to raise funds on the strength of their ownership of shares and other assets
• Unearthing hidden assets
• Advising on tax implications on the division or disposal of assets
• Reviewing pension assets.

We act for Applicants and Respondents and, increasingly, as a jointly appointed expert.
