We provide a free initial consultation for all clients who meet our criteria. This isn’t a quick chat; it’s a detailed, strategic session where we learn about your circumstances, outline the next steps, and give you a realistic view of potential outcomes and costs.
Over the past two decades, we’ve perfected this process while advising thousands of clients across the UK and internationally. In Rome, this level of insight and strategic planning from the very first conversation is exceptionally rare. If you think you may need our help, take the first step today - contact Vardags now to arrange your free consultation.
Rome is not only Italy’s political and cultural heart, it’s also home to a significant concentration of wealth and a growing community of expats. Many of these individuals manage substantial assets - such as property portfolios, international businesses, and cross-border investments - which can make family law matters particularly complex. Despite this thriving affluent population, Rome is largely underserved when it comes to high-net-worth family law expertise.
High-net-worth individuals face unique challenges during divorce that go far beyond the scope of standard family law. Where complex financial interests are at play, these cases require a lawyer who understands not just the legal framework, but also the financial and reputational complexities involved. A specialist in high-value family law can navigate intricate financial disclosures, protect sensitive information, and develop strategies that safeguard wealth while achieving fair outcomes. For clients in Rome with significant assets, having the right expertise on your side is essential.
That’s where Vardags comes in. Since our founding 20 years ago in the UK, we have acted in some of the most significant family law cases in recent history, including landmark decisions in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, and High Court in the UK. The firm has always had a strong Italian connection and our founder and president, Ayesha Vardag, who resides in Italy herself, has long championed the firm’s work in the region. With an office in Italy, Vardags team of leading family lawyers can bring our years of expertise directly to clients in Rome and across Lazio, offering the same world-class service that has made us one of the most respected firms in high-net-worth family law.
