Withers Worldwide

An important consideration in almost all divorce situations is how to structure the financial settlement in the most tax-efficient manner. As a result of our experience in the area of divorce, we have an in-depth understanding of the taxation issues and pitfalls involved.

Our clients often have assets in a number of different jurisdictions, which means that financial settlements reached between the parties have to take into account competing taxation provisions in the various jurisdictions involved.

We can advise on both UK and US tax issues, and frequently work with lawyers in other jurisdictions to ensure that financial settlements will be appropriately structured for tax purposes, regardless of where the assets and the clients themselves are based.

Our clients include UK and US citizens who are going through a divorce in London, as well as other international clients who have chosen to divorce in the English courts.
