For the founder, the executive, the investor and the business owner — when more is at stake than most attorneys are equipped to understand.
When a high-net-worth marriage ends, the outcome of a dissolution — or the durability of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement — turns entirely on how well the attorneys understand the business behind it. We built this practice precisely for that intersection: attorneys who know businesses, how ownership is structured, and how to protect what a client has built.
That fluency shapes every dimension of our work: how we draft agreements that withstand challenge, how we approach valuation disputes in dissolution, and how we structure protections that preserve operational continuity when a marriage ends. We bring the art of legal and business into the family law context — and apply it where it matters most.
Counsel Calibrated for Complexity
Our Private Wealth Counsel practice addresses three core areas where business ownership and family law intersect; Prenuptial Agreements, Post Nuptial Agreements and Representation in Divorce Proceedings. Each is approached with the same rigor and precision the complexity of our clients’ financial lives requires: thorough development, disciplined legal strategy, and full readiness to try any case should that become necessary.
Representing the Architects of Enterprise and Industry
Whether drafting a prenuptial or post nuptial agreement or representing a founder, investor, executive, or business owner in a dissolution matter, each situation requires attorneys who understand what they are protecting. We address equity structures, unvested interests, business succession planning, and professional goodwill not as abstract terms, but as the specific assets our clients have spent years building. Every agreement we draft is designed from the outset to survive challenge — because we understand the business well enough to anticipate exactly where a challenge will come.
We understand that for our clients, what is at stake is the work of a lifetime. We treat it accordingly — with the rigor and discipline that protecting a business, structuring an enforceable agreement, or navigating a complex dissolution genuinely demands requires:
· Detailed review of every business-related financial document before any strategic position is taken or communicated to any party.
· Individualized analysis of your specific corporate structure, equity arrangements, and compensation history — never templated assumptions applied to your unique situation.
· Specialized attention to income characterization, including K-1s, distributions, retained earnings, and personal expenses run through business entities that artificially suppress reported income.
· Proactive identification of goodwill characterization issues — personal versus enterprise — before the opposition has had the opportunity to define the terms of the debate in their favor.
· Direct, candid communication about legal exposure, strategic options, and realistic outcomes — without the reassurances that serve the attorney’s comfort rather than the client’s interest.
· Confidentiality treated as an operative principle, not a professional courtesy — particularly for clients whose business relationships, key employees, and professional reputations are directly implicated in the proceedings.
Our business and litigation background also means that with have the distinct acumen and knowledge how to develop facts, anticipate opposing strategies, and protect a client’s business interests with the same discipline and rigor as a complex financial dispute demands.
Our clients built what they have through extraordinary judgment and effort. They should apply that same standard to the counsel they choose when it is most at risk.
