The award-winning team of family lawyers each with their strengths, have been responsible for introducing the ground-breaking concept of the divorce voucher, a global first that has become a widespread success.

They have been inundated with ground-breaking cases in high-net-worth individuals and in every area of divorce, finances, nullity, etc.

One case that thrust her firm into the public eye was that of Bienvenida Buck, formerly Countess B, even more formerly Lady Buck, in her divorce from Sir Antony Buck.

She has acted for several celebrity clients, including Anne Diamond, Les Dennis, Bridget Rowe, Fiona Wright, Dr Hilary Jones and several well-known sports personalities in each field of the sports world.

Vanessa has regularly appeared on TV shows such as This Morning, Good Morning Britain, BBC Breakfast and Channel 5 and radio shows on LBC and across all BBC stations.

This ran across two series. Vanessa also served as a judge on ‘British Best Friend’ alongside Paris Hilton. Her TV credits led to the Channel 4 series ‘30 Minutes’, where she served as a roving reporter for GMTV’s coverage of Paul and Heather McCartney’s divorce case.
