Divorce Proceedings can be complex, particularly when it comes to property ownership. Understanding the legal issues involved in property distribution can enhance your position during these proceedings and help you avoid potential pitfalls, exposure of liabilities, and complications.

Our Thursday Chill Club will be running a two-part series of topics for our audience to master effective negotiation strategies for couples who are facing divorce involving property assets. We have our seasoned real estate partner Polly Chu and family partners Jocelyn Tsao and Anisha Ramanathan to share valuable insights and solutions they provide to their clients.
