A 'special contribution' is a legal argument to depart from equality, asserting that one party's contribution was so exceptional in nature that it should be reflected in a greater share.

Arguing special contribution requires meticulous preparation and expert advocacy. Our solicitors specialise in:
Cases involving special contributions often involve high-profile individuals and complex financial structures. Our approach is always meticulous, strategic, and completely discreet. We are skilled negotiators who aim to settle matters out of court, but we are also formidable litigators ready to robustly represent your case.
Extremely difficult. The court sets a very high bar to depart from the starting point of a 50/50 division of assets. The contribution must be truly exceptional and of a quality that is unmatched by the other party. Successful cases are rare and require expert legal representation.

If you believe you have a potential special contribution case, you need specialist advice. Contact our expert family solicitors for a confidential and discreet consultation.
