Pre-Marital Agreements 

It is becoming more common for couples to enter into an agreement about what happens should their relationship break down. While a pre-marital agreement may seem unromantic, in certain cases it may be advisable to protect your business assets or preserve assets for your children.

Recent test cases have bolstered the legal status of pre-marital agreements in the UK. We can talk you through your options and help you decide whether an agreement is suitable for you.

Our national family law presence gives us the strength in depth to help clients from across the country and you get the peace of mind of dealing with one of the UK’s most experienced teams.

Why Might You Want A Pre-Marital Agreement?

You may be reluctant to bring up the subject of a pre-marital agreement. We can help you understand the key issues and give advice on how best to come to an agreement with your partner.

Pre-marital agreements can be particularly useful if:

• You are a couple marrying for the first time and wish to agree to keep the assets owned prior to the marriage as separate
• You have already been through a divorce and want to avoid possible complications and legal costs in the future
• You have business assets you wish to protect
• You want to preserve assets for your children

We have experience of putting together agreements in all of these situations. Contact us and we will give you clear advice on how to protect your assets.
