High value financial settlements cover divorce or civil partnership dissolution where the assets are substantial, including shares, businesses, real property, pensions and complex investments. A solicitor helps gather and verify assets, negotiate a settlement, draft the court documents, and apply to the Family Court for financial provision under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and related law. They may advise on consent orders, disclosure, and enforcement of orders, and liaise with experts such as valuers, actuaries and lenders. The process is shaped by the size of the asset pool and the parties’ needs.
