When James Maguire and his ex-wife Eimear co-founded a law firm they never expected to get divorced. Here he explains how your business doesn’t have end just because your marriage has

When Eimear, my now ex-wife, and I co-founded our law firm – Maguire Family Law, over 15 years ago, I never imagined that the business we built together would be tested by the complexities of a divorce.

We had poured our hearts and souls into it, striving to create something meaningful not just for ourselves but also for our clients. But when we realised that our marriage was over, we didn’t want the business we had created to be another casualty.

Divorce is often described as one of life’s most challenging events and, for business owners, it can carry even greater consequences. The emotional toll is undeniable, but the potential impact on the business – especially for SME owners – can be far-reaching, affecting not just the individuals involved but also employees, clients and future prospects. For parents, this is in addition to managing the impact on children and protecting their wellbeing and best interests.
