INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & FRANCE  

France Desk | Our Offering

For those involved in cross-border divorce matters, this requires specialist family law advice. Whether it’s selecting the most favourable jurisdiction for divorce, dividing assets held across France and Italy, or arranging child custody across two legal systems, these cases demand lawyers who are well-versed in international divorce. Clients with ties to both Italy and France need a firm that understands the complexities of cross-border family law and can offer strategic, discreet, and pragmatic guidance tailored to globally connected lifestyles. The Italian market remains largely underrepresented in high-net-worth and cross-border divorce solutions.  

This is where Vardags comes in – with decades of experience handling the most complex, high-net-worth and cross-border divorce cases, we are uniquely placed to deliver the best result for clients with an international footprint. Founded by Ayesha Vardag – renowned as the “diva of divorce for the world’s super rich” (BBC) - Vardags has always had a strong international connection. From our London office, we have had over two decades of acting in numerous complex international family law cases through our France and Italy desks. We now bring this unparalleled expertise directly to individuals with links to France and Italy, offering the same world-class legal guidance and opening the door to a well-connected network of leading French lawyers and specialists for our clients.  

Our specialist divorce lawyers are highly experienced in navigating jurisdictional disputes, delivering strategic advice that identifies the most advantageous legal pathway – and ultimately, the best possible outcome – for each client. Our in-house London-based financial forensics specialists provide Milan with expert support in asset tracing, valuation and analysis, leaving no financial detail unaccounted for. Whether your goal is to protect significant wealth and business assets, or to secure a settlement that honours your contributions and ensures long-term security, we’re committed to standing by you from start to finish. Our focus is on protecting what matters most – your lifestyle, your financial future, and your interests – particularly when the stakes couldn’t be higher. 

Don’t just take our word for it – as mentioned in the prestigious Legal 500 index, “if you want the best, look no further”.
