Part of the Vardags family

Rushton Family Law is a specialist family law firm, advising both married and unmarried clients on all areas of family law, from divorce and finances to arrangements for children. We were born out of our sister brand, Vardags: led by Ayesha Vardag, described by the Telegraph as "Britain’s top divorce lawyer", and behind some of the most significant family law cases in the country, some of which have shaped the law itself. For two decades, Vardags has built its reputation in high-net-worth family law, acting in cases involving complex asset structures, international disputes and matters of a high-profile and sensitive nature. Rushton Family Law now brings that know-how and approach to more traditional and straightforward cases: those without the overseas assets, offshore structures, or complex wealth. That means expert advice focused on the outcome that matters to you, with fees in proportion to what is at stake.

Family law is all we do. Day in, day out.

For most people, a family law matter is one of the biggest and most difficult decisions they will ever face. It can shape your financial future for years to come, and it is always about the people you care about most. No two families are the same, and no case is ever routine to us. Family law is all we do, and we advise on it day in, day out, using an approach proven at Vardags in some of the most complex and closely watched cases in English family law. That experience means we can help you see which decisions will truly shape your future, and reassure you about the ones that don’t need to keep you up at night. We are here to guide you with clear advice, to carry the weight of the process with you, and to help you reach a good outcome as calmly and directly as your circumstances allow.
