Vardags is a divorce and family law firm specialising in high net worth and complex cases, serving clients across Italy.
Vardags S.T.A.r.L is a specialist family law firm for high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals facing complex, high-stakes family matters. The firm opened its first office in Milan in January 2026 and quickly grew to six offices across the country, with teams in Rome, Verona, Naples, Bologna and Florence.
Rather than building teams from scratch, Vardags S.T.A.r.L brought together leading family lawyers already established in their own regions. Between them, they have decades of combined experience before Italy’s highest courts and in complex international disputes. The result is a firm that combines deep local knowledge with international reach, offering discreet, strategic advice to clients throughout Italy.
As the Legal 500 puts it: "If you want the best, look no further."
Vardags acts for HNW and UHNW individuals across Italy - and those married to them - in complex divorce and family law cases, often with international elements.
Whether you are one of these individuals or their spouse, we understand the stakes when significant wealth, businesses, and cross-border issues are involved. Our team combines discretion, strategic insight, and unrivalled expertise to deliver exceptional results.
