Divorce For Business Owners – Hecht & Associates, Rockville, Maryland
Divorce for business owners encompasses more than just personal matters – it involves the intricate entanglement of business assets, personal wealth and family dynamics. With over 20 years of history in Montgomery and adjacent counties, our firm has garnered a reputation for fiercely protecting our clients’ interests, especially when it comes to the complexities business owners face during divorce.
Navigating Your Business Through Divorce
When you’re at the helm of a business, divorce can pose unique challenges. Here’s how we address key concerns:
- Valuation of your enterprise: We work with financial professionals to accurately determine the worth of your business, taking into account all debts and assets, including intangible factors such as goodwill.
- Creative settlement strategies: Our attorneys are skilled in formulating strategies that allow the business to continue operating while addressing the equitable distribution of assets.
- Negotiating for your best interests: We aim to settle out of court when possible, but we are fully prepared to represent you aggressively in court if needed.
Questions such as “Will I have to split the value of my business?” or “Can I keep my business running without having to sell it?” are not just hypothetical – they’re crucial issues that will affect your future significantly. We are ready to help you face these issues head-on.
Protecting The Profit-Making Organization That You’ve Built
Our firm’s lawyers possess a wealth of experience in handling high-stakes divorce cases, which sometimes involve business owner clients.
We are vigorous in our negotiation tactics and let opponents know we will go to court if necessary to defend your rights. However, we strongly recommend paths leading to amicable settlements as well as the continuation of a business owner’s legacy.
Your Business, Your Assets, Your Future
Our advocacy methods for the division of marital estates including business assets include the following:
- Determining an equitable value for your business without the need to liquidate.
- Exploring options that allow you to retain control and keep the business operational post-divorce.
- Protecting your interests, whether through negotiation or litigation, to ensure your professional endeavors continue to thrive.
We recognize that your business isn’t just a source of income; it’s also likely a part of your identity and a testament to your hard work. As such, our approach is tailored to your unique situation.
