Madsen v. MacNutt: When Can a Court Intervene in a Family Business After Separation? [Alert]

Chantal Cattermole, Sarah Tradewell, and Sarah Warsh discuss a recent Supreme Court of British Columbia decision that provides important guidance on when courts may intervene in a privately held business while a family law dispute is pending, regardless of whether the shares are excluded property.

Sarah concentrates her practice on family law. When appropriate, she champions alternative dispute resolution methods to help families conduct their affairs in a private, timely, and cost-efficient manner. She has experience assisting clients in cohabitation, separation, and marriage agreements, assisted reproduction agreements, negotiating settlements, and representing them in court when necessary.

Most recently, Sarah was an associate in the family law practice of one of Western Canada's leading law firms. She earned her J.D., M.B.A., and B.Mus. from the University of Victoria and is trained in the Collaborative Divorce process. She is also a conversational French speaker and plays the violin.
