SFBBG provides sophisticated resolution for complex family matters. Our Family Law Mediation practice provides a trusted alternative to traditional litigation for resolving high-net-worth family law disputes. Clients rely on our extensive experience in family law, chancery, civil litigation, corporate law, and trust and probate matters to facilitate structured, fair, and future-focused outcomes—without the toll of courtroom battles.
Our approach to mediation is rooted in a collaborative model that prioritizes discretion, respect, and efficiency. We empower parties to retain control of their decisions, guiding them through the negotiation of complex issues such as asset division, tax consequences and estate planning, spousal maintenance, and parenting agreements.
The process is particularly well-suited for sophisticated individuals and families seeking privacy, tailored solutions, and preservation of long-term relationships.
Our mediation services are informed by decades of experience in litigation, family law, dispute resolution and representation of high-net worth individuals. We bring a clear understanding of both the law and the emotional nuances at play in these consequential matters. With advanced training in collaborative law and mediation from leading academic institutions, we are equipped to facilitate meaningful resolutions—even in the most complex situations.
Sophisticated clients value our judgment, discretion, and ability to balance legal, financial, and personal considerations to achieve the best possible outcomes.
