cross-border expertise for anglo-italian divorces

Maria previously worked for two of the biggest family law firms in Milan, dealing with high net worth divorce cases involving famous personalities and entrepreneurs. She decided to move to London in order to broaden her international experience and she subsequently decided to cross-qualify in England and Wales. Before joining Vardags, Maria worked for a year in another large national family law firm in London. She joined Vardags in 2018 and was promoted to the role of Associate in April 2022. She was then promoted to Senior Associate in April 2025.

Maria is heavily involved in Italian networking in London and in Italy, attending cultural and social events as a member of the Women in Law Association, the British Lawyer Association and the Associazione Italiana degli Avvocati per la Famiglia ei minori.

As a dual-qualified solicitor, Maria is uniquely well-placed to assist clients in cross-jurisdictional disputes, or where there are complex Italian elements to the proceedings, such as custody disputes or pre-marital arrangements such as “communione separazione dei beni”. Maria’s skills are endlessly praised by the many high net worth international Italian clients she represents. Her nurturing personality greatly complements her legal and analytical skills, making her a great asset on any case. 

Maria leads our Italian desk, having built a reputation as a top Italian lawyer in London, with her being mentioned in La Notizia for offering ‘Italian style’ divorce in London.

Maria graduated from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.

Languages

Maria’s first language is Italian but she can also read and translate French and Spanish.

Carriera

Nella sua carriera ha lavorato presso due dei più prestigiosi studi legali di Milano, occupandosi di cause di divorzio per clienti facoltosi, tra cui personaggi famosi e imprenditori. Successivamente, ha deciso di trasferirsi a Londra per ampliare la sua esperienza internazionale e conseguire l’abilitazione anche in Inghilterra e Galles. Prima di unirsi a Vardags, Maria ha lavorato per un anno in un altro importante studio legale nazionale di diritto di famiglia a Londra. Si è unita a Vardags nel 2018 ed è stata promossa al ruolo di Associate  nell’Aprile 2022. È stata poi promossa a Senior questo Aprile 2025.

Maria è attivamente coinvolta nelle reti professionali italiane sia a Londra che in Italia, dove partecipa a eventi culturali e sociali in qualità di membro della Women in Law Association, della British Lawyer Association e dell’Associazione Italiana degli Avvocati per la Famiglia e i minori.

Come avvocato, Maria è particolarmente preparata ad assistere i clienti in controversie trans-giurisdizionali o in procedimenti con elementi italiani complessi, come gli accordi prematrimoniali e il riconoscimento delle convenzioni matrimoniali Italiane quali la "comunione e la separazione dei beni". Le sue competenze sono costantemente elogiate dai numerosi clienti internazionali di alto profilo che rappresenta. La sua personalità attenta e perfezionista si unisce perfettamente alle sue capacità legali e analitiche, rendendola una risorsa preziosa per ogni caso.

Facendo parte del nostro Italian desk, è stata menzionata su La Notizia per offrire divorzi ’in stile italiano’ a Londra.
