Love, Law & Leadership: Financial Agreements with Nicole Schippani

In this episode of The Rent Roll Queen Podcast, I chat with solicitor Nicole Schippani about what it takes to protect your business, assets, and peace of mind when love and law collide.

We explore the role of financial agreements (yes, prenups too!) in relationships and business partnerships — especially when you're running a business together.

💬 At 5:43, Nicole shares how separation through the courts can take “six months to three years, if not longer” — not to mention the emotional toll. 💬 At 16:14, she explains “for example, if one person ends up having children, it can be drafted to provide for those different scenarios.”

We talk divorce, business ownership, blended families, and why hard conversations now can save you from devastation later.
