Understanding Complex Financial Portfolios

High-net-worth divorces typically involve diverse financial portfolios that include a range of assets. These assets can involve multiple layers of ownership, legal entities, and financial instruments, creating an interconnected network of financial relationships.

We are knowledgeable in navigating all aspects of complex financial portfolios in matters concerning the characterization and valuation of assets such as:

  • Multiple Business Entities
  • Real Estate Holdings
  • Stock Options
  • Investments
    • Private Equity
    • Venture Capital
    • Hedge Funds
  • Retirement Accounts
  • Offshore Accounts and Trusts
  • International Assets
  • Intellectual Property Rights
  • Art and Collectibles

Sophisticated Real Estate and Investment Properties

Complex domestic and international real estate portfolios can include primary residences, vacation homes, and investment properties. We are well-versed in handling divorce proceedings involving commercial properties, residential complexes, land developments, etc. These holdings often involve joint ventures and various management structures that must be considered when evaluating property division issues. Valuing these properties requires a thorough understanding of real estate markets, tax implications, and other matters to ensure accurate and fair characterization and division.

Tax Considerations for Intricate Financial Structures

An additional layer in navigating high-value assets and investments includes a deep understanding of various legal and financial instruments designed for tax planning. Irrevocable trusts, charitable trusts, family-limited partnerships, and other instruments each have their own rules and benefits, which must be considered to preserve those benefits and value. We take into account all tax consequences and implications involved in asset division, including capital gains taxes, transfer taxes, and other taxes associated with spousal support and child support.

Our Legal Expertise is Paired with a Thorough Understanding of Financial Structures

When the financial stakes are high in a divorce, you need a divorce attorney with specialized skills and knowledge. We navigate our clients through intricate financial structures through multidisciplinary expertise and collaboration with experienced specialists. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your options for protecting your financial interests by ensuring fair settlement of assets.
