Whether working creatively on a settlement construct or within the more rigid framework permitted in litigation, our attorneys analyze every detail in high net worth and sophisticated property distributions to find the right solution, including a rigorous assessment of the costs and benefits to the client of going forward at every stage. Our attorneys value and divide complex assets including businesses, real estate, equity compensation plans (such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance shares), carried interests, and retirement and deferred compensation plans, always keeping in mind important tax considerations that will impact the fairness of a particular property division. If a settlement is reached, we use great care in drafting to ensure that the agreement is accurate, reliable, and air tight.
