Austin, TX Tech Industry Divorce Lawyer
Austin has become a major hub for software engineers, tech executives, and startup founders to meet and merge. This growth has brought excitement, innovation, opportunity, and wealth. However, it can also mean that tech professionals can have atypical assets and investments. The standard approach to the division of property might not be as possible if one spouse holds stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), or private equity in a company. Even if these aren’t current problems you’re facing, you’ll want to safeguard your finances and investments as much as possible during a divorce.
Our attorneys understand highly technical assets, such as vesting schedules, startup equity, and bonus structures. We also know how to present these clearly in a court or during negotiations. You may also have concerns over royalties, patents, or intellectual property. We can properly identify all of your assets and attach an appropriate dollar amount.
It’s best to avoid taking your divorce to trial. We can help by providing mediation and negotiations. Disputes often happen during a high-asset divorce. Taking a case to court can be time-consuming and more expensive in the long run. When we meet with you, we’ll listen to your wishes and provide you with your realistic legal options. Keeping a case out of court can also help protect any confidential information.
