The daughter of a successful trial lawyer, Royce abandoned corporate law early in her career to enter one of the most highly personal areas of the legal profession: matrimonial law. Recently, she was in the news for representing Arnold Schwarzenegger in the final stages of his divorce from Maria Schriver. While client confidentiality precludes her from mentioning other cases, public records show that she’s handled recent marriage dissolutions for Channing Tatum, Jeff Garlin and Forest Whitaker.
Importance of the pre-nup: “You’re going into the business of marriage together, and you have to be clear in terms of what your respective rules and rights are, because you have to be equal,” she says.
