Marriage & Succession

Marriage, Family and Succession

We advise on the property and personal consequences of family relationships — for private clients, for family businesses, and for foreign nationals with assets or family in China.

Services

• Marital property agreements and prenuptial arrangements
• Divorce, property division and disputes over jointly held assets
• Custody, support and guardianship of minors
• Testate and intestate succession; wills and estate planning
• Cross-border family matters: foreign marriages, overseas assets, recognition of foreign divorces

Sensitivity and Discretion

Family matters involving business interests require discretion as much as advocacy. We coordinate with tax and corporate advisers so that the resolution of a family dispute does not destabilise an operating business.
