The divorce of an entrepreneur or a liberal professional often goes beyond the problems of a traditional divorce. The assets to be protected are not limited to personal assets: shares, real estate allocated to the activity, professional bank accounts and intellectual property rights are being liquidated.

One of the first steps is to identify and value all the professional and personal assets of the company manager. This analysis makes it possible to determine which shares of the business can be considered as marital property and therefore subject to distribution. The intervention of a specialized lawyer makes it possible to secure the distribution and to prevent the company from being fragilized.For SARL, EURL or civil companies, divorce can lead to the sharing of shares between spouses. It is essential to determine the equity claim and to assess financial and control rights. In some cases, the establishment of temporary joint ownership or specific agreements can protect the business without compromising the functioning of the company.
