INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & ENGLAND 

Vardags offers unparalleled expertise for clients with ties to both Italy and England. Our approach combines in-depth knowledge of both English and Italian family law with access to a global network of advisors, ensuring a seamless international strategy. At the helm of our Italian team is Maria Fiorito – an internationally recognised lawyer, dual qualified in both UK and Italian law, whose career spans two of Milan’s most prominent family law firms and nearly a decade in London handling complex cross-border divorces. She leads a group of elite Italian lawyers trusted by a distinguished, high-profile clientele. 

In divorce, the choice of jurisdiction can dramatically influence financial outcomes, as the Italian and English judicial systems differ in significant ways. For those who have the option, selecting where to divorce often depends on whether they are the economically stronger or weaker party.  

This decision is rarely straightforward – it involves factors such as current and past residences and each spouse’s domicile. For example, a British national living in Italy may qualify to divorce under Italian law if they have an Italian spouse, property in Italy, or children residing or studying there.

England Desk | Our Offering

Cross-border divorces are among the most challenging family law matters, requiring specialist expertise and a global perspective. From selecting the most advantageous jurisdiction to dividing assets across France and Italy or managing child arrangements under two separate legal systems, these cases demand lawyers with deep international experience. Clients with ties to both countries need a firm that can navigate these complexities with strategic insight, discretion, and practical solutions tailored to globally connected lifestyles. Yet, despite the growing demand, the Italian market remains underserved in high-net-worth and cross-border divorce services. 

That’s where Vardags comes in. With a track record built on handling some of the most challenging family law cases, Vardags is trusted by clients navigating high-stakes matters across borders. Through our Italian office, we bring this experience directly to individuals with ties to England and Italy, combining a thorough understanding of both legal systems with an approach shaped around each client’s circumstances. Clients turn to us not only for our legal skill, but for our ability to handle sensitive, high-value matters with care and discretion — offering world-class guidance backed by a trusted network of leading English-qualified lawyers and specialists.

Our lawyers are highly skilled in resolving jurisdictional disputes, crafting strategies that identify the most advantageous legal pathway – and ultimately secure the best possible outcome. Supporting our Italian operations, our London-based financial forensics team provides 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 mission is clear: to safeguard what matters most – your lifestyle, your financial future, and your peace of mind – especially when the stakes couldn’t be higher. 

As the prestigious Legal 500 index puts it: “If you want the best, look no further.”
