Protecting Your Professional Practice

If you are a professional going through a dissolution, it’s essential to work with an attorney who understands how to protect your business interests. Our experienced attorneys know how to address the unique challenges that arise when a professional practice becomes part of a property division case.

When you meet with us, we’ll discuss key issues such as:

  • Accurate valuation of your professional practice and goodwill
  • Whether the appreciated value is subject to property transmutation
  • How to determine if part of your practice is marital property
  • The role of corporate structure and taxation in asset division
  • The extent to which your spouse’s contributions may affect the practice’s value
 

We take a detailed, evidence-based approach, often working with financial experts, forensic accountants, and valuation specialists to ensure your practice is represented fairly and accurately in court or negotiations.

Professionals We Represent

Our firm regularly represents clients from a variety of professional fields, including:

  • Attorneys and law firm partners
  • Architects, engineers, and consultants
  • Accountants 
  • Other licensed professionals
 

We understand the distinction between your professional license, which represents your future earning capacity, and your practice’s current value, which may or may not be considered marital property. We’ll fight to protect what you’ve built while pursuing an equitable and just outcome.
