Our Expertise
Protecting assets before they disappear
In cases where there is a risk that assets may be sold, transferred, hidden or dissipated, Blackstar Law advises on urgent asset protection strategies, including freezing injunctions, non-disposal orders and targeted preservation applications.
These matters frequently require rapid investigation and decisive action, particularly where substantial or internationally held assets are involved.
Strategic Context
Acting before the financial position changes
Concerns may arise following separation that property will be sold, funds transferred overseas, cryptocurrency moved between wallets, business assets reorganised or valuable possessions disposed of.
The Family Court has significant powers to intervene where the necessary legal requirements are satisfied, including applications under section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. In appropriate circumstances, protection may extend to assets situated outside England and Wales.
Our Approach
Rapid. Evidence-led. Strategic.
We assess the available evidence quickly to determine the nature of the risk, assets concerned and appropriate protective measures.
Where urgent intervention is justified, we can seek freezing injunctions, non-disposal orders, disclosure orders or other targeted measures designed to preserve the existing financial position.
In complex or international matters, Blackstar Law works alongside leading family law counsel, King’s Counsel, forensic accountants, property valuers, business valuation experts, overseas lawyers and other specialist advisers where required.
