NJSBA Family Law Section

Hello Family Law Section members,

On Wednesday, Dec. 4, NJICLE will present Successfully Navigating Divorce Settlements Involving Closely Held Businesses: An Essential Guide to Achieving The Best Result from 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. at Doubletree by Hilton in Fairfield.

When a closely held business is involved in a divorce, it adds another layer of complexity to the proceedings. The company is often a significant income source for a couple or a family, and its division will have a major impact on the divorce settlement and your client’s financial lives for years to come.

This informative new seminar will provide you with concrete and time-proven tactics to confidently handle these often complicated situations, so you can quickly and accurately ascertain a business’s ownership and value, develop a sound strategy, and propose a plan that makes sense for everyone involved. You’ll also pick up helpful pointers and best practices for working with experts and negotiating a settlement that will best serve your client’s interest. By the end, you’ll walk away with new skills – and the confidence you need to navigate your way through to achieve the best results and protect your client’s interests.
