Experience

Zharna was admitted as a solicitor in 1998 and has been practising family law exclusively for the last 25 years. She is a Law Society accredited Family Law specialist and a member of Resolution, an organisation which adopts the principle of a non-confrontational and constructive approach to all family issues.

Zharna has extensive experience in all areas of family law including divorce, separation and complex, high value financial disputes often involving third parties. She also regularly acts for clients in a variety of children matters including successful applications to the Court of Appeal in cases involving international relocation and intractable contact disputes. She deals with cohabitation disputes and is frequently asked to advise on and prepare pre and post nuptial agreements.

Zharna joined the niche family practice, Bottrill & Co LLP, in 2008 and became a Partner in 2013. Prior to this she was head of the Family department at an established local firm for seven years. Following the acquisition of Bottrill & Co LLP, Zharna heads the Family department of Vyman.

Zharna’s approach is to provide clear, robust and constructive advice to her clients whilst remaining sensitive to the background of difficult and often highly emotional circumstances.

Personal

In her spare time Zharna enjoys a variety of pass times including travelling, baking, health and fitness and long country walks with her family.

Testimonials

★★★★★
Vyman's Solicitors were recommended to me by another family lawyer in North London and without question, I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone who is looking for a reliable, honest and transparent family lawyer to help them through one of the hardest challenges they are likely to face. Zharna Sutaria and her team supported me through nearly 3 years of what became a very complex divorce both with regards to settlement and to child matters.

Dr Gadelrab Review Solicitors

Zharna was brilliant from start to finish.Sensitive to the background to the case, able to offer relevant experience from previous historical cases and offered honest, direct communication to help drive the case forward while the other party's solicitor dragged their heels.I would recommend them without hesitation.

Sandeep R Review Solicitors

★★★★★
Vyman Solicitors were the third family lawyers I turned to following a difficult situation. They took the work on about 6 months into litigation and took it right through to the final hearing, for about another 3 years.I found Zharna, and her team were focused on doing a good job, working to get the best possible results along the way and exploring the best avenues to reach those outcomes. They were considerably better than my experience with my previous lawyers, one of whom was unable to remember the case among the others they dealt with, the other who seemed to do little and charge a lot.Zharna and her team helped me prepare statements in a thorough and focused manner for each hearing. They were able to summarise key points and arguments and write correspondence well. They helped me focus on the important issues in hand and they were able to give me sound advice when necessary. The barrister that they put me in touch with was outstanding, someone with a sound legal knowledge and who was able to present the case logically in court.I would recommend Vyman Solicitors to anyone needing legal assistance, particularly in family matters involving separation. I found them friendly and approachable to work with, good listeners and they handled my case in a sensitive manner.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value FAMILY LAW - I hired the services of Vyman Solicitors to help with a complex divorce case and related matters on behalf of a family member.I had the pleasure of dealing with Zharna (Director) and Nirali (Trainee Solicitor).From the offset, Zharna was very professional and accommodating. When it came to understanding the complexities of the situation, she adopted a meticulous approach. This made me feel at ease as there is always so much hidden detail with these types of matters.This attention to detail helped greatly with strategizing but more importantly understanding the potential outcomes of each prospective choice/path. This was a refreshing change and certainly different from some other Law Firms I had used in the past.

I used Vyman to navigate through my divorce. Zharna was extremely professional and helped to provide much legal clarity. She was able to advise me according to my circumstances and discussing all my options before making decisions. Zharna was always available and took account of the cost involved at every stage, making things financially easier where possible.
