Los Angeles law firm Charles M. Green, APLC reports increased demand for attorneys with dual legal and financial expertise as divorce cases increasingly involve cryptocurrency holdings, stock options, and business ownership structures that require sophisticated valuation methods.
The firm, led by Charles M. Green, a Certified Family Law Specialist and licensed CPA, has observed a significant shift in the complexity of asset division cases over the past several years. Modern compensation packages, digital assets, and intricate business structures have transformed the landscape of high-asset divorce proceedings in Los Angeles, where entrepreneurship and technology sector employment create unique challenges for divorcing couples.
"The intersection of family law and financial expertise has become critical in today's divorce cases," said Charles M. Green, founder and principal attorney at the firm. "When we're dealing with restricted stock units, cryptocurrency portfolios, or closely-held businesses, having both legal knowledge and accounting expertise allows us to identify and properly value assets that might otherwise be overlooked or misunderstood."
The firm's approach to complex divorce cases combines traditional family law practice with sophisticated financial analysis. This includes forensic accounting techniques to uncover hidden assets, business valuation methodologies for privately held companies, and expertise in Qualified Domestic Relations Orders for retirement account division. The dual perspective proves particularly valuable when addressing deferred compensation, unvested stock options, and intellectual property rights that require careful analysis to ensure equitable distribution.
Los Angeles has experienced substantial growth in technology startups and entertainment industry ventures, creating a concentration of individuals with complex compensation structures and business interests. These factors contribute to the increasing demand for attorneys who can navigate both the legal framework of California family law and the intricate financial considerations inherent in modern asset portfolios.
The firm's 27 years of experience serving Los Angeles families has provided insight into evolving asset complexity. Digital assets, including cryptocurrency and NFTs, present novel challenges in identification, valuation, and division. Business ownership interests, particularly in startups with unclear valuations or future earning potential, require sophisticated analysis beyond traditional divorce proceedings.
Tax implications represent another layer of complexity in high-asset divorces. The firm's CPA background enables comprehensive tax planning during property division, helping clients understand the long-term financial impact of different settlement structures. This expertise extends to addressing potential tax liabilities, capital gains considerations, and the tax efficiency of various support arrangements.
