Case Study

We helped a local businessman to divorce from his wife of over 40 years.

The couple had taken over a successful local business from the husband’s father in the 1980s. Recently the land the business was on had been identified as having development potential. The couple’s home was also on this same plot of land.

This was a complex case that required several expert reports. Our Chichester divorce lawyers worked closely with other teams at Irwin Mitchell – including Tax, Trusts & Estates, Residential Property and Commercial.

We managed to negotiate a settlement that allowed the business to continue and for the husband to move on with his life. The couple continue to own the business, but now do so through a partnership agreement.
