Sandra Davis

Spear's Review

Described as a ‘doyenne’ of family law, Sandra Davis has dealt with just about everything during her 40 years at Mishcon de Reya. Her vast experience has sharpened her appetite for complex, seemingly intractable cases. A ‘powerhouse of knowledge’, Davis is most at home untangling complex financial structures, often dealing with multi-jurisdictional cases.

She is a top choice for many notable HNWs (often international), and has acted for high-profile clients such as Princess Diana, Jerry Hall and Thierry Henry. However, for many of her clients, the aim is to keep things low-key, and Davis, who believes in providing a 360-degree service, is used to managing the media and dealing with any reputational fallout that may arise.

Adviser Profile

She specialises in complex high and ultra high net worth cases, often with an international/celebrity element and involving complex tax and trust and substantial commercial issues, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and intractable disputes concerning children and relocation.

Her clients include international and domestic celebrities, entrepreneurs, hedge fund and business owners. Sandra's career highlights have included representation of the Princess of Wales, Jerry Hall, Thierry Henry and Tamara Mellon as well as involvement in leading cases on third-party financing of financial settlements and jurisdiction.
