High-profile divorces fascinate, from Matt Lauer to Hollywood royalty (and dethroned moguls), sports figures, billionaires, and the rest. Veteran Manhattan divorce lawyer Dror Bikel takes us inside the high-conflict, high-stakes world of high net worth divorces. Although known as the go-to trial guy for the powerful, Dror takes on the mantle of social observer and commentator for a fun look at how the wealthy handle their marital splits, their kids, some crazy assets, and their brands. Beyond the fun, Bikel – author of the upcoming The 1% Divorce – Clash of Titans – distills and shares lessons learned from 30 years of matrimonial courtroom brawls that anyone considering divorce, or in the midst of one, will find surprising and valuable. Battles over family trusts, prenups-under-pressure, old masters, money hidden offshore, schemes unraveled, film rights, multi-national residences, and scorched earth custody battles make for a great narrative, and Dror Bikel is the battle-hardened storyteller.
