New York City High Net Worth Divorce Lawyer
Manhattan Divorce Litigation Attorney
Any divorce can be difficult to resolve and can have complicated issues that deserve experienced assistance from an attorney. If you are a high-net-worth individual with complex assets, an experienced Manhattan divorce litigator is essential in advising you of your rights, protecting your assets, and saving you unnecessary time and expense.
As a New York divorce lawyer with more than 25 years of legal experience, I understand that the issues of divorce are not only financially difficult, but can be emotionally difficult as well. My strong financial background allows me to provide knowledgeable legal counsel to high-net-worth individuals seeking to resolve the financial complexities inevitably encountered in divorce. The compassion and empathy I bring to my clients allows them to have confidence that their interests will be protected.
Equitable Distribution of Divorce Assets
Fair property division and asset protection are two important goals in any high-net-worth divorce case. When working toward a marital settlement agreement, some of the more complex assets that may need to be divided include:
- Executive benefit packages, which may include stock options and other deferred compensation
- Retirement accounts, including IRAs, 401(k) accounts and pensions
- Real estate
- Business assets and family-owned businesses
- Professional practices (law practices, medical practices)
- Trusts
- The value of professional licenses or degrees
Issues such as child support and spousal maintenance may also be part of your dispute. In some cases, couples with hard-to-divide assets may choose to balance asset division with time-limited or ongoing spousal maintenance. There are tax implications to be weighed in any decision regarding property distribution and spousal maintenance. These must be considered when drafting an equitable settlement.
Prior to opening my Manhattan law firm, I worked for a venture capital firm in Hong Kong. The financial knowledge I gained there helps me deal with the complex issues inherent in high-net-worth divorce cases. My firm is skilled at properly valuing assets and understanding complex financial assets.
