Divorce for the Digital Generation

Highlights

Over the last 10 years, digital assets have influenced clients going through their divorces. As new types of assets are emerging, so are the processes for divorce. Whether it is new ways to hide assets, new sources of income or online harassment issues, the actual process for divorce must adapt itself to the digital revolution. 

In this webinar, our panel of experts will address the risks involved in digital assets and what can be done to trace and value these assets to bring them to Court.

This session will cover topics on:

  • Defining, finding, and valuing digital assets
  • Enforcing against digital assets
  • Cyber-attacks – what should clients be aware of, and what can we do?
