INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & SWITZERLAND 

Switzerland Desk | Our Offering

Cross-border divorces demand more than standard legal advice. From choosing the most advantageous jurisdiction to dividing assets across Switzerland and Italy or managing child arrangements under two legal systems, these cases call for lawyers deeply versed in international family law. Clients with ties to both countries need a firm that understands the nuances of cross-border matters and delivers strategic, discreet, and pragmatic solutions tailored to globally connected lifestyles. Despite growing demand, the Italian market remains underserved in high-net-worth and international divorce services. 

That’s where Vardags comes in. With decades of experience in complex, high-value, and cross-border divorce cases, we are uniquely positioned to achieve the best outcomes for internationally mobile clients. Founded by Ayesha Vardag – hailed by the BBC as the “diva of divorce for the world’s super rich” - Vardags has always embraced an international outlook. From our London headquarters, we have spent over twenty years handling intricate family law matters through our Italy and Switzerland desks. Today, we bring this expertise directly to clients with links to Switzerland and Italy through our Italian office, offering world-class legal guidance and access to a trusted network of leading Swiss lawyers and specialists. 

Our team is highly skilled in resolving jurisdictional disputes, providing strategic advice to identify the most advantageous legal pathway – and ultimately secure the best possible result. Supporting our Italy office, our London-based financial forensics specialists deliver expert asset tracing, valuation, and analysis, ensuring no financial detail is overlooked.

Our focus is clear: safeguarding what matters most – your lifestyle, your financial future, and your interests – especially when the stakes couldn’t be higher.
