Divorce & business

We have significant experience in matters where one partner or both are part of a family business. Family enterprises can be structured in a variety of ways which include sole traders, partnerships or limited liability companies. A divorce will potentially impact upon the business, emotionally and/or financially. A business within a family cannot be ignored or shielded from the divorce process simply because one partner has no involvement in it. As a multi-service law firm, we can draw from the expertise of our commercial and corporate colleagues to ensure you have access to the best legal advice throughout your case. Call our divorce law experts on 01616 966 229.

A business can suffer irreparable damage if couples working together use it as a battleground. On the other hand couples can remain working within the business after their divorce particularly in amicable separations, although they will always be advised to ensure that there are clear guidance and boundaries around their continuing business roles. During the divorcing process, these couples need to be able to keep their emotions in check and continue operating their business successfully, particularly if it is a primary source of income. As a client you can benefit from access to our commercial and corporate teams to assist you should any difficulties arise throughout the process.
