We Have a Reputation for Excellence

Complex high-asset divorces demand proficiency in family law and financial valuation principles and methods, as well as the ability to articulate this expertise in the courtroom. S.L. Pitts has over 25 years of experience handling the most difficult and complex cases in Seattle. We will safeguard your interests with a qualified team and the assistance you deserve.

Closely Held Business Interests

When dealing with closely held business interests, the first layer of complexity is to accurately identify the relevant assets, which can involve navigating multiple related entities, shareholder notes, non-operating assets, etc. Once identified, interests must be fairly valued, usually using the capitalization of normalized earnings valuation method. All of this requires relevant legal and financial expertise.

Highly Compensated Employees and Professionals

The last 40 years have seen a steady evolution from the deferred compensation plans of the post-war period to include stock options, stock grants, restricted stock grants, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock warrants, employee stock purchase plans, phantom stock, “top hat” deferred compensation plans, and so on.

Professional 

Practices and Goodwill

Professional goodwill is limited to licensed professionals such as physicians, lawyers, accountants, or any other service-based professional who is licensed and regulated by the state or a recognized professional association.

Christina was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hired her to assist in a child relocation case and couldn't have been happier with the outcome she got for us. Very professional, well researched and super prepared. I felt supremely confident with her help and support during a very difficult and scary time. Thank you for all your help!

Chris

Bailey

Christina Chung, and Christopher Pitts did a great job preparing me for something I was not prepared for, nor wanted. They were very professional, way more prepared than opposing counsel, and were able to handle things I simply didn't want to handle due to the emotional toll it was taking. I would highly recommend them to support and protect your interests.
