Ayesha Vardag

Spear’s Review

Now that Vardags CEO Stephen Bence has taken a leading role in managing the firm’s day-to-day affairs, firm principal Ayesha Vardag is free to concentrate on handling its most complex, high-value family law matters.

Her practice focuses on high-asset-value litigation involving heads of state, ‘very high-profile individuals and the super-rich’, she says. Indeed, seen as something of an iconoclast by many of her peers, Vardag has become one of the profession’s best-known figures in her own right, earning the moniker ‘the diva of divorce’. 

In the last decade she has also been involved in several of the most significant cases heard in the courts of England and Wales, including winning the landmark 2010 prenup case Radmacher v Granatino.
