Getting to Yes: Mediating the Complex Financial Case

Christopher C. Melcher, named “Lawyer of the Year” for Family Law in Los Angeles by Best Lawyers, and recognized by Chambers and Partners with a Band 1 High Net Worth ranking, presents a practical discussion on mediating complex financial divorce cases. He is also joined by Hon. Joshua D. Wayser of LASC, and Anthony Storm. This webinar focuses on high-net-worth matters involving business ownership, executive compensation, real estate portfolios, and other sophisticated financial structures, where the stakes extend far beyond the immediate division of assets.

Drawing on decades of experience handling complex property division and financial disputes, Mr. Melcher outlines how mediation can be used effectively to resolve cases involving significant wealth while preserving asset value, minimizing disruption, and reaching structured, enforceable outcomes. The discussion addresses key challenges such as asset characterization, valuation, commingling, and the strategic considerations that influence settlement in high-asset divorce.

This program is designed for professionals and individuals seeking a clearer understanding of how complex financial issues are addressed in mediation, and what factors can meaningfully affect the outcome of a high-net-worth divorce case.
