Liz Barrett

Associate

Liz joined Vardags as an Associate in the Family law department. She is prized for her eye for detail and strategy, as well as her skill of working holistically with a range of clients in stressful, complicated, and demanding situations. She advises on all aspects of family law including divorce and dissolution of civil partnerships, involving jurisdiction and other disputes; financial remedy proceedings, both in court and in private; private law proceedings for children; and modern family-building issues (on which she has written several articles and spoken on panels). She also drafts and advises on UK and overseas pre- and post-nuptial agreements, as well as cohabitation agreements/disputes.

EDUCATION

Liz studied Law at King’s College London, being awarded both the Dickson Poon Scholarship and the Jelf Medal during her degree. She then studied the Legal Practice Course at BPP University achieving a distinction.

CAREER

Liz has worked in a variety of roles during her career, before becoming an Associate at Vardags. She has experience working with a range of international, high-profile, HNW and UHNW clients representing them in the Family Court, High Court and via alternative dispute resolution. These cases often involve highly complex, opaque, and contentious issues with significant financial elements, including trusts, offshore assets and company structures. She has experience working on cases involving issues of financial non-disclosure, jurisdiction, safeguarding, domestic abuse/coercive and controlling behaviour, as well as surrogacy and adoption.
