When couples embark upon divorce proceedings the distribution of the marital assets is often disputed. These assets can become inaccessible until a settlement is agreed in court. In many instances this results in a cash shortage for one or both of the parties. This can cause an issue for both parties. A client approaching a solicitor with a potential problem of a lack of liquidity creates the following scenario:  the representing solicitor can...

• Option 1: Refuse the brief
• Option 2: Accept the brief and defer payment
• Option 3: Accept the brief at the considerably lower fees provided by the Legal Aid system

Antony Weeks Associates has negotiated special terms with a number of major lenders to provide bespoke finance packages to divorce clients with cash problems. A divorce loan is specifically designed to provide cash flow for the payment of legal fees in divorce proceedings. A divorce loan is a short to medium term personal loan to the client that is secured against the anticipated release of the marital assets.
