London: Improved Terms Agreed in Couple’s £8m High-Net-Worth Prenup

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.

Regarding the case, Shivi said:

“Although prenuptial agreements are not presently legally binding, they are often given decisive weight by the court if the proper formalities have been met. As such, it is crucial that clients fully understand their rights, including what they are potentially giving up, and that the agreement does not leave once party in a financially precarious position, as they may well be held to it in the event of a later divorce.”
