Divorce lawyers for heirs and heiresses

Vardags has extensive experience and an impressive track record representing heirs and heiresses in family law proceedings. We have worked with beneficiaries to family trusts and those set to inherit multi-million pound fortunes.

We have unrivalled experience in cross-jurisdictional cases, ensuring our clients’ cases go through the English courts. We have represented members of wealthy English and international families, helping them to preserve their assets in the face of the English court’s wide-ranging ability to make financial awards.

Meanwhile, our bespoke approach allows our lawyers to focus on your desire to preserve your family’s wealth for future generations. Working alongside our dedicated and meticulous financial forensics team, our lawyers will value your interest in family property appropriately, and accurately argue what you will, and will not receive.

We will help you demonstrate what your spouse realistically needs from a settlement and what they might be able to generate or contribute for themselves, and understand that you and your family want to avoid making payments to an ex-spouse. Placing you and your best interests at the forefront of our practice, we will help you find the best way to protect yourself and your family wealth.
