Top Family Law Firms & Lawyers
Family law covers divorce and separation, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, child custody and support, spousal support, and the division of property. For a founder, partner or executive, the stakes are often a business: shares that may be split, a valuation that may be contested, and a shareholder agreement that may restrict who can own equity. Family law firms that handle these cases work with forensic accountants and business valuators as a matter of routine.
When you compare the lawyers listed here, check who would actually handle your file, how often they settle in mediation versus go to trial, and whether they have dealt with closely held companies or deferred compensation before.
