Profile
David was admitted in 1987 and is now senior partner at Vardags. With over 35 years of experience at the forefront of the profession, David’s practice comprises a wide ambit of family law issues, namely high net worth and ultra-high net worth divorce and matrimonial finance issues with complex legal, financial and factual disputes and international elements. He takes a strong interest in non-disclosure and enforcement issues as well as nuptial and cohabitation agreements. Reputed for his cutting-edge techniques, David defines his approach as "thinking outside the box" and "solution driven", going the extra mile to deliver outstanding strategic solutions for his clients. During his career, he has pioneered the use of litigation funding and third-party disclosure, as well as having conduct of the largest court determined matrimonial settlement at the time (£54 million), with proceedings in six jurisdictions. David has lectured at The Manchester Law School, The French Bar and the IAFL. David was Lawyer of the Week in ‘The Times’ in October 2024. David was a guest on ‘A Lawyer Talks’ podcast.
