The Cambridge office of specialist family law firm Vardags is the basis of its strong position in the market across East Anglia, wherein it can be relied on for assistance with complex, high-value cases that often involve cross-jurisdictional elements. ‘Standout in the profession’ Anna Jones acts on financial arrangements from divorce, complex child arrangements, pre and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, and protective injunctions. Rebecca Fenner is recommended as ’empathetic’ and ’excellent’, and has a wealth of experience from a diverse family law practice within the Cambridge community. The team was bolstered by the hire of Harriet Chastney in December 2024 from Tees Law, and she adds to the firm’s abundant experience in Cambridge.

‘I switched from a different firm and from day one the team have been extremely responsive, clear with options and approach. This has been really reassuring knowing best- and worse-case scenarios.’
‘Anna Jones is extremely supportive and responsive.’
‘The team work collaboratively. There are constant additions of new team members bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Information is concise and updated and relayed in a timely fashion.’
‘I have experienced first class service from Vardags. My first appointment with Rebecca Fenner followed another with a different law firm. She instantly put me at ease and made me feel that I was justified, sensible and reasonable in my approach (unlike the previous solicitor). My case has been ongoing for some time and she has never failed to guide me and I have felt able to trust and heed her advice. Both Rebecca and Anna Jones attended my FDR and their presence made my day far less stressful with their confidence and humour.’
‘Anna Jones is a standout in the profession. Her legal expertise is first-rate, with a empathetic and pragmatic approach that ensures cases progress efficiently and fairly. What sets Anna Jones apart, however, is that she is a genuine joy to work against—a rare and invaluable quality in our industry. I look forward to working with her in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her.’
‘The team are used to dealing with high net worth clients and have a team of skilled lawyers able to deal with the legal challenges that arise.’
