Show Me the Money: Asset Protection in High-Net-Worth Global Divorce Cases

High-net-worth divorce clients tend to have assets located across the globe especially considering the rise of cross-cultural marriages. When the spouses seek to divorce, a court may have limitations on compelling information on overseas assets, valuing those assets, or mandating a disposition of those assets. Given that courts are limited in addressing division of marital assets located outside of its reach, it is important to work with high-net-worth clients at the time of marriage to employ an asset protection plan should a divorce be an eventuality. Expert speakers discuss the selection of marital property regimes and memorializing asset division in a valid and enforceable global prenuptial agreement. They also discuss strategies to shield assets and employ sophisticated tax strategies, and topics of international evidence and discovery concerning inter-national assets as well as various approaches in dividing international marital assets.
