Vandana Chitroda

Spear’s Review

‘Most of the work we do is financial settlements from divorce, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for HNWs and UHNWs,’ explains Vandana Chitroda, head of the family department at Broadfield, the law firm that rebranded from BDB Pitmans in late 2024.

Many of Chitroda’s clients are centimillionaires who generated their wealth as entrepreneurs and finance professionals, and most of them have interests in multiple jurisdictions. She notes that clients tend to appreciate the ‘personal approach and personal service’ that Broadfield provides, especially where out-of-court settlements are concerned. 

‘I don’t have, I’m pleased to say, many instances where clients don’t accept advice,’ Chitroda tells Spear’s. ‘I feel that I’m very approachable, and I’m able to strike up a rapport very quickly with clients. But I’m also direct, and I never, ever, lead them up the garden path.’
