Divorce
High-asset divorce is a test of discipline as much as law. Every message, every reaction, every decision made in anger becomes part of the record, and part of the outcome.
Private transition advisory
Your personal source of loyalty.
Discreet counsel for high-net-worth individuals, founders, and C-level professionals navigating divorce, succession, and sudden loss. Before, during, and after the event.

Who it’s for
Disruption creates vulnerability.
Divorce, succession, and sudden loss don’t only test your legal position. They test your judgment, your composure, and your character at precisely the moment those matter most.
02
Succession
Handing over a company or an estate reopens questions of loyalty, control, and identity. For you, and for everyone who has a stake in the answer.
03
Sudden loss & circumstance
Bereavement, illness, public scrutiny, a reversal of fortune. The events no one plans for, and the exposure that follows them.
Designed exclusively for high-net-worth individuals, founders, and C-level professionals.
The role of a Consigliere
Your legal team protects the assets.
I protect the person.
Your counsel handles
- Legal architecture
- Asset protection
- Negotiation and settlement
Your Consigliere handles
- Personal stability
- Tactical daily boundaries
- Emotional containment
- Alignment between your character and your objectives
“My job is to insulate the legal strategy from the raw emotion, ensuring you remain rational, responsive, and completely aligned with your character and your objectives, from discovery through to settlement.”
About Joseph Phillips
I have stood where you are standing.
I’m Joseph Phillips. I have experienced great personal loss, and I have lived through its deeper effects on wealth, on family, and on the person I understood myself to be. That experience is why I do this work, and why I am uniquely suited to stand with you through yours.
I run a highly discreet transition advisory practice designed exclusively for high-net-worth individuals, founders, and C-level professionals navigating high-stress disruptions: divorce, succession, circumstance, or sudden loss.
Essentially, I serve as a personal Consigliere. While your advisors handle the high-level legal architecture and asset protection, I step in to manage your personal stability, your tactical daily boundaries, and your emotional containment.
Loyalty is the whole of the offer.
How we work together
Before, during, and after the event.
Our mission is to equip you with the insight and the skills to excel in the disruptions that create vulnerability, and to leave you with lasting protection once they pass.
- 01Before
Preparation
We map where you are exposed, personally as well as financially, and put in place the boundaries and protocols that will keep you composed when it begins.
- 02During
Containment
Daily counsel through discovery, negotiation, and settlement. The emotion stays away from the strategy, your legal team does its work, and you remain yourself.
- 03After
Recovery & legacy
The event ends; its effects do not. We turn what happened into lasting protection and, where you want it, into an exceptional recovery.
Engagements are bespoke, deliberately few, and strictly confidential. Bespoke training programs are available for clients who want to build these skills for themselves.
Discretion
Nothing about our work is visible unless you choose it to be.
Loyalty
One interest in the room: yours.
Composure
Clear thinking, held steady, when everything is designed to unsettle it.
Insights

On the Ask Your Consigliere channel you’ll find videos covering everything from creating an unforgettable recovery for yourself to the psychological intricacies behind proper protective behavior.
