INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & GERMANY

Germany Desk | Our Offering

Cross-border divorce cases call for highly specialised family law expertise. From choosing the most advantageous jurisdiction to handling the division of assets spread across countries like Germany and Italy, these matters require lawyers with specialised international legal experience. Clients with ties to both Italy and Germany need a law firm that truly understands the intricacies of cross-border family law. Strategic, discreet, and pragmatic advice is essential for those navigating globally connected lives. Despite growing demand, the Italian market is still largely underrepresented when it comes to high-net-worth international divorce lawyers.  

This is where Vardags comes in – drawing on decades of experience in these complex, cross-border and high-stakes disputes, we are uniquely placed to deliver the best legal advice for global family law challenges. Founded by Ayesha Vardag – celebrated as the “diva of divorce for the world’s super rich” (BBC) - Vardags has always embraced an international outlook. For over twenty years, our London headquarters has managed some of the most intricate cross-border family law matters through our dedicated Italy and Germany desks. Today, we bring that unrivalled expertise directly to individuals with links to Italy and Germany through our Italian office, offering the same world-class guidance and opening the door to a well-connected network of leading German lawyers and specialists for our clients.  

Our team of expert divorce lawyers brings extensive experience in resolving complex jurisdictional issues. We provide strategic guidance designed to identify the most favourable legal route and secure the strongest possible outcome for every client. Supporting this effort, our London-based financial forensic specialists work closely with Milan to deliver meticulous asset tracing, valuation, and analysis – ensuring no financial detail is overlooked. Whether your priority is safeguarding substantial wealth and business interests or achieving a settlement that reflects your contributions and guarantees long-term stability, we are committed to standing by you throughout the process. Our mission is to protect what matters most: your lifestyle, your financial future, and your personal interests – especially when the stakes are at their highest. 

Don’t just take our word for it – as Metro remarked, Vardags is “widely regarded as one of the world’s best”.
