Shadow Experts

How Vardags Can Help 

The Vardags Financial Forensics team can be instructed as shadow experts, working behind the scenes to support your case to the extent you require. You can have as much or as little involvement in the day-to-day running of your case as you would like, and our role can be flexible – from targeted advice on specific valuation issues to ongoing support throughout proceedings. 

We can assist with: 

• Valuation of business and other complex assets 

• Analysis and critique of a spouse’s business valuation 

• Reviewing and questioning Single Joint Expert reports 

• Investigating suspected hidden or undervalued assets 

• Providing ad‑hoc forensic and financial support as issues arise 

You may instruct us alongside your own solicitors or work with a direct access barrister. Either way, we operate as part of your wider team, ensuring financial evidence is properly understood and effectively used. 

Why Choose Vardags? 

Unlike other shadow experts, we work in‑house within a specialist family law firm alongside an elite financial forensics team. This means we understand the financial remedy process not just from an accounting perspective, but from a legal one. 

Our Financial Forensics team regularly attends conferences with counsel and court hearings with clients, supports negotiations, and helps prepare financial evidence at every stage of financial proceedings. That practical experience ensures our advice is grounded in how cases actually progress through the Court system.

Whether you need a valuation prepared in the background, expert scrutiny of your spouse’s business interests, or any other ad-hoc forensic services, our integrated legal and forensic expertise can make a decisive difference to your case. 

If you think you may need the help of our Single Experts or our Shadow Experts, do not delay – contact Vardags before your spouse does.
