Division of Assets

Negotiating the division of assets

The division of assets can be complex and contentious, necessitating skilled and tactful legal advice. Our initial aim will be to help you reach an agreement with the other party via negotiation or mediation. If this is successful, we will then advise on incorporating the agreed terms into a deed of separation, or a consent order that we will ask a court to ratify. Wherever possible, we seek to avoid the stress and expense of court proceedings.

Litigation through the courts

However, if negotiation or mediation is futile, then we can explore the option of seeking redress through the courts. We understand want is at stake and will use our superior advocacy skills to secure a positive outcome. The right remedy will depend on you and the circumstances of your case. The court may order:

• The other party to take a particular course of action
• The other party not to take a particular course of action
• The payment of damages
• For assets to be divided in a certain way

Get early legal advice

Often in these cases, each side is very protective and the situation becomes highly charged. The dynamic is such that it’s very difficult to reach a solution without professional input. That’s why we recommend that you speak to our solicitors sooner, rather than later. We can diffuse the dispute in the early stages, using our negotiating skills to your advantage.
