High-asset divorce cases have the potential to develop into complex financial disputes because a marital estate is rarely straightforward when it contains a large portfolio of assets.

Switalskis has made a positive start to the year with the announcement of 11 firmwide promotions, acknowledging the expertise and hard work demonstrated throughout its legal and support departments.
