As experienced prenuptial agreement solicitors, we acted for the less well-off future spouse in a prenup involving assets of around £8 million, plus significant anticipated inheritances. Shivi Rajput took the lead, providing empathetic support and advice and ensuring the client fully understood the legal and financial implications of the agreement.
Before speaking to us, the proposed prenup ringfenced all pre-marital and inherited wealth, including contributions made to the family home. Under these terms, if the couple divorced, our client would have only been left with a modest property, largely dependent on their own borrowing capabilities, despite the fact that the parties had been in a settled cohabiting relationship for many years already. The imbalance of wealth was a clear risk to our client’s long-term financial security.
How our specialist family law solicitor helped
As expert high-net-worth divorce solicitors, we approached the matter with care and discretion. Our client was understandably reluctant to challenge the proposed terms as they didn’t want to damage family relationships ahead of the wedding.
Through careful negotiation, a number of key safeguards were introduced to improve fairness while preserving goodwill between all involved. The focus was on achieving a more balanced outcome without creating conflict.
The prenuptial agreement was successfully concluded well in advance of the wedding, helping to reduce any future uncertainty. The new terms offered our client much better protection and financial security, while still respecting the family’s need to protect inherited wealth.
This case shows prenups matter for high-net-worth individuals, and that clear, independent legal advice is crucial. It also highlights Shivi’s expertise in carefully handling complex family law issues involving substantial wealth.
