Alex McCready
Spear’s Review
Vardags partner Alex McCready recognises that defending her clients’ reputation from attack today requires specialist knowledge of how the internet is evolving.
‘Collaboration is key for us,’ she explains. ‘We recognise – and indeed embrace – the fact that the law is just one part of our armoury. We actively seek to work with other private client advisers who also excel in their chosen field, like cyber experts, communications specialists and private security advisers.’
McCready began her career at Magic Circle firm Linklaters before moving to Schillings and then Vardags. As head of reputation and privacy, she has forged a reputation as one of the field’s most outstanding talents – and as a fierce protector of her clients.
McCready was shortlisted for for Reputation Lawyer of the Year at the 2024 Spear’s Awards.
