David Lister – Vardags

‘Both the Rolls Royce and the Ferrari of the family law world‘, Vardags stands out for its handling of ‘the most complex and difficult of cases‘. Firm founder and team head Ayesha Vardag, an ‘extremely intelligent lawyer’ valued for her ‘wise insights and clever strategies‘, often supports ultra-high-net-worth clients in complex financial disputes. Simon McKirgan is a go-to for difficult cases, including jurisdiction disputes. The children team is headed up by Caroline Korah, who is ‘the perfect balance of empathetic and tough’ and experienced in both domestic and international matters. David Lister joined the team from Rayden Solicitors in July 2023, and is ‘a stalwart and legend in the field‘, while the group gained Robert Hines in November 2023, who is ‘a brilliant and gifted lawyer’, from Mishcon de Reya LLP. Antonia Barker and Lois Rogers departed the team in August 2023 to Hamblin Family Law LLP and Ribet Myles, respectively.
