Case Study: Protecting Business Assets During a High-Value Divorce

Client: Entrepreneur & Business Owner
Area: Family Law & Business Law
Outcome: Fair financial settlement, business fully retained by client

Background:
Our client, a successful business owner, was facing a complex divorce involving multiple joint assets and a thriving limited company that they had built prior to marriage. Their spouse was seeking a significant share of the business despite having no role in its creation or management.

The client’s primary concern was protecting the continuity and control of the company while ensuring a fair and lawful financial settlement.

Our Approach:
The London Law Firm deployed a dual legal team — family law specialists and commercial solicitors — to build a strong, balanced case. We:

• Valued the business through forensic accounting

• Separated personal and corporate assets clearly

• Demonstrated pre-marital ownership and sole contribution to business growth

• Negotiated a private settlement to avoid public court scrutiny

• Advised on post-divorce share structuring and asset protection moving forward

Resolution:

• Our client retained full ownership and control of the business

• A structured settlement was agreed that satisfied both parties

• Ongoing business operations were protected from financial disruption

• Confidentiality was maintained throughout proceedings

Client Feedback:
“The London Law Firm didn’t just defend my business — they protected my future. I was able to walk away with peace of mind and everything I’d worked for intact.”
