Vardags is the only family law firm in the UK with a dedicated in-house Financial Forensics team, specialising in the identification, tracing, valuation, and forensic analysis of complex assets. If you or your spouse own a business, hold shares in multiple companies, or receive equity as part of a remuneration package, it’s imperative that these assets are properly valued during divorce proceedings. Likewise, if you suspect that your spouse may be concealing assets or failing to fully disclose their financial position, you need a team with the expertise to uncover and accurately assess those holdings. The benefit of the Vardags model is that the people doing the valuation and forensic accountancy work on your case will be forensic accountants with experience in matrimonial law. This ensures that complex financial issues are handled with relevance to the legal context - something most other family law firms simply aren’t equipped to provide in-house.
