Wealth protection and pre-nups

Pre-nups - and other forms of wealth planning and protection - can provide certainty when a relationship breaks down.

A major source of stress for clients is not knowing at the outset what the financial outcome of their divorce will be. Far from being the preserve of the super-rich, sensible wealth protection strategies - including agreements like pre-nups (properly called  pre-nuptial agreements) - are increasingly being used to provide that certainty, dealing with problems before they arise.  

We regularly help a variety of clients plan for the future. With an unrivalled multi-disciplinary approach, a network of contacts stretching across the globe and a wealth of practical experience, you can be confident in our ability to advise you whatever circumstances.
