Matrimonial

Share and business valuations
We are typically instructed in over 100 cases each year in this specialist area and have extensive experience of valuing interests in companies and businesses of all types specifically for the purposes of Ancillary Relief Proceedings, whether for an FDR or a fully contested hearing. We are used to dealing with complex share structures, quasi partnerships and with accounts which may not immediately reveal all of the financial information relevant to the case. We carry out the necessary investigations and research to ensure our opinion is properly supported and are aware of up to date cases relating to Financial Provision.

Liquidity reviews
We are aware of the importance of available funds and liquidity in Ancillary Relief Proceedings. Our work is carried out with this in mind and our taxation and corporate finance knowledge assists us in identifying potential liquidity and how it might be extracted from the family business.

Taxation considerations
We are experienced in the taxation matters relating to marriage breakdown and Ancillary Relief Proceedings, both in the context of personal taxation and capital taxes in relation to valuations and the extraction of funds from privately owned businesses.

Income assessment
We accurately evaluate the actual income of the parties to the proceedings and provide opinions on the potential income that might be derived from the family business.

Detailed investigation
Where necessary, we are able to carry out a detailed investigation of the financial affairs of a business or group of businesses or of the personal financial affairs of the parties, tracing assets and unravelling complex series of transactions to ensure a complete financial picture is obtained.
