When personal relationships intersect with commercial and business interests, specialist matrimonial advice is essential. MKB Law’s Matrimonial division, led by Associte Director Kelly Shaw, focus exclusively on complex, high-value matrimonial and divorce cases.

Our expertise covers matters involving family businesses, multiple residential and investment properties, commercial assets, partnerships, family trusts, overseas holdings and sophisticated pension structures, including SIPPs and SSAS arrangements.

We are highly experienced in navigating the financial, legal and strategic issues that arise where wealth is diverse, international or closely connected to ongoing business interests. We are regularly instructed in cases requiring forensic financial analysis, expert valuation evidence and strategic litigation.

Areas of Focus:

• Pre and post nuptial agreements (particularly important for second or subsequent marriages where there are children from an earlier marriage)
• Matrimonial agreements including complex financial settlements
• Pension provision including Pension Sharing Orders or Offsetting (a buy out of a pension interest)
• Ancillary Relief Proceedings
• Investigation of assets
• Injunctions to prevent the dissipation of assets
• Divorce proceedings
• Division of property
• Division of company assets and/or shareholdings
