INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & DUBAI (UAE) 

Dubai (UAE) Desk | Our Offering

International divorces are among the most complex family law matters, demanding specialist expertise at every stage. From deciding which jurisdiction offers the most favourable outcome to dividing assets across Dubai and Italy or managing child arrangements under two distinct legal systems, these cases require lawyers with deep cross-border experience. For clients with ties to both countries, the challenge is finding a firm that combines strategic insight with discretion and practical solutions tailored to globally connected lifestyles. Yet, despite the growing need, high-net-worth and international divorce services remain underrepresented in the Italian market. 

That’s where Vardags comes in. With decades of experience in high-value, cross-border divorce cases, we are uniquely equipped to deliver exceptional results for internationally mobile clients. Founded by Ayesha Vardag – described by the BBC as the “diva of divorce for the world’s super rich” - our firm has always embraced a global outlook. From our London headquarters, we have spent over twenty years managing complex family law matters through our dedicated Dubai and Italy desks. Now, we bring this expertise even closer to individuals with ties to Dubai and Italy via our Italian office, offering world-class legal guidance and access to a trusted network of leading Dubai-based lawyers and specialists. 

Our team excels in resolving jurisdictional disputes, crafting strategies that identify the most advantageous legal pathway – and ultimately secure the best possible outcome. Supporting our Milan operations, our London-based financial forensics specialists provide expert asset tracing, valuation, and analysis, ensuring no financial detail is overlooked. Whether your goal is to protect significant wealth and business interests or secure a settlement that reflects your contributions and guarantees long-term security, we stand by you every step of the way. Our commitment is simple: to safeguard what matters most – your lifestyle, your financial future, and your interests – especially when the stakes couldn’t be higher. 

Don’t just take our word for it – as the Legal 500 remarked, “they take on unwinnable cases and win, they fight the unfightable and succeed and they relish the most complex and difficult of cases”.
