Joanne Radcliff from Brabners LLP and Philippa Cunniff from Gilson Gray discuss when you may need to consider getting legal advice about a pre-nuptial agreement or post nuptial agreement in more than one country. They consider how lawyers can work together in different jurisdictions to ensure a pre or post nuptial agreement can be effective in each country or to prepare ‘mirror agreements’.

It has been said that “Housing is a lens through which you can look at the whole of society” and at Brabners we certainly believe that to be the case.

Here in the UK, we, as a population, are very focused on the status that comes with home ownership. But there is a systemic, and seemingly ever-growing, need within our society for good quality accommodation for those who can’t afford to buy or rent properties at open market rates.

We felt it was time to take a deeper dive, into the topics that are high on the agenda of the Registered Providers, who play a key role in meeting this need. They face many challenges as they seek to deliver the affordable housing that our country so desperately requires.

In this three-part series, we’ve spoken to Chief Executives of four organisations, to understand what drives them, and how they are navigating the complexities and challenges currently facing the Affordable Housing sector.

Joanne Radcliff from Brabners LLP and Philippa Cunniff from Gilson Gray discuss jurisdictional issues that impact the way in which divorce is dealt with in both England/Wales and Scotland, including the significant differences in the way the courts in each jurisdiction deal with the division of assets and maintenance.

They consider the circumstances which may lead to you having the potential to choose between the two jurisdictions, the pros and cons of choosing one over the other, and the impact of Brexit on starting divorce proceedings in either jurisdiction.
