Grato a Forbes Italia per l’inserimento tra i Forbes Professional 2026.
Questo riconoscimento arriva in un anno particolarmente significativo, segnato da importanti risultati professionali in Italia e all’estero.
Come avvocato matrimonialista, con competenze nel diritto di famiglia nazionale e internazionale, continuo a dedicare il mio lavoro alla tutela delle persone, dei figli e dei patrimoni nelle fasi più delicate della vita familiare.
Un anno che ha visto anche il raggiungimento di risultati rilevanti in ambito internazionale, tra cui una sentenza inglese che ha creato un precedente importante, con possibili riflessi anche nel contesto giuridico italiano.
Grazie a Forbes Italia per l’attenzione e per questo inserimento, che rappresenta per me motivo di gratitudine e responsabilità.

As a family and divorce lawyer, with expertise in national and international family law, I remain committed to protecting people, children and family assets during some of the most delicate stages of family life.

Si è appena conclusa a New York la Conferenza della Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA), un’esperienza straordinaria di confronto internazionale, crescita professionale e connessione umana.
As an international family lawyer, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a global conversation on the future of the legal profession, international family law, lawyer wellbeing, leadership, and sustainable legal practice.
Ho avuto il privilegio di moderare il panel “Next Gen Lawyers and Legal Wellbeing”, dedicato a un tema oggi centrale: costruire una professione legale più sana, resiliente e attenta alle nuove generazioni di avvocati.
A heartfelt thank you to my outstanding panelists:
Marco Imperiale, Tea Mustac, Arthur Stussi and Matilde Flores.
Grazie alla Union Internationale des Avocats, ai colleghi, ai partecipanti e a tutti coloro che hanno reso questa conferenza a New York un momento così intenso, autentico e stimolante.
International dialogue is essential to address complex family law matters, cross-border disputes, professional wellbeing, and the human challenges behind every legal case.
Il futuro dell’avvocatura è internazionale, collaborativo, sostenibile e profondamente umano.

A pause from the UIA Congress in New York.

Every time I come back to this city, I feel that New York has changed — and yet its spirit, energy and atmosphere remain unmistakably the same.

It still feels, in a way, like home.

New York was part of my early journey: the first years of university, the discovery of a different legal culture, and the beginning of an international outlook that would later become central to my professional life.

Today, that path continues through international relationships, cross-border family law cases, and the constant dialogue between different legal systems, cultures and human stories.

One of the strongest messages emerging from this UIA Congress on lawyers’ health and wellbeing is simple, but essential: we must learn to take time for ourselves.

For lawyers, this is not a luxury. It is a professional responsibility.

And it is even more important for those of us who work with families, conflict, separation, children, patrimonial protection and highly emotional disputes. To assist others with clarity, balance and humanity, we must also protect our own inner space.

Walking through New York, between meetings and conference sessions, I am reminded that international law is not only about jurisdictions, treaties and procedures.

It is also about people, bridges, resilience and perspective.

Today I am in New York City for the UIA Wellness Forum, hosted at Seward & Kissel LLP, One Battery Park Plaza.
I am honoured to moderate the panel:
NEXT GEN LAWYERS AND LEGAL WELLBEING
Friday, 8 May | 17:00 – 18:15 | New York
The wellbeing of the next generation of lawyers is one of the most important issues facing the global legal profession today.
Young lawyers and law students are entering the profession with new expectations around mental health, work-life balance, professional identity, sustainable careers, leadership, and purpose. These are not secondary concerns. They are central to the future of law firms, bar associations, legal education, client service, and the rule of law.
I look forward to moderating a conversation with an outstanding international panel:
Tea Mustac
LLM Candidate, Harvard Law School, Boston, MA, USA
Arthur Stussi
AIJA President, Stussi Law, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Matilde Flores
Counsel, Chaffetz Lindsey, New York, NY, USA
Together, we will explore how young lawyers experience wellbeing challenges and what law firms, bar associations, universities, and legal institutions can do to support them from the very beginning of their professional journey.
In a legal world shaped by complexity, uncertainty, high pressure, technology, and rapid transformation, lawyer wellbeing is no longer only a personal issue. It is a strategic priority.
A sustainable legal profession cannot be built on burnout.
It must be built on resilience, awareness, human strength, ethical leadership, and meaningful professional support.
I am proud to contribute to this important international discussion here in New York, together with the UIA – Union Internationale des Avocats.

Quando un adolescente diventa violento in famiglia, il problema non riguarda solo il singolo comportamento: coinvolge equilibri emotivi, relazioni, paura, senso di colpa e spesso anche il silenzio.
Nel mio articolo pubblicato su MammeMagazine affronto un tema delicato e sempre più urgente: le difficoltà delle famiglie che si trovano a gestire figli adolescenti aggressivi o violenti, tra bisogno di protezione, responsabilità genitoriale e ricerca di aiuto.
Parlarne è fondamentale, perché dietro la violenza domestica agita da un minore possono esserci disagio, fragilità, mancanza di confini, solitudine educativa e dinamiche familiari complesse.
Nessuna famiglia dovrebbe sentirsi sola. Riconoscere il problema è il primo passo per affrontarlo con lucidità, competenza e tutela.

Italy is attracting more and more international millionaires.
But when wealth crosses borders, family law becomes global.
According to Repubblica Finanza / Teleborsa, around 3,600 millionaires chose Italy in 2025, bringing with them an estimated $21 billion in wealth.
This is not only an economic trend.
It is also a legal challenge.
When families live between different countries, everything becomes more complex:
marriage, separation, divorce, children, assets, family businesses, trusts, tax residency and inheritance.
Even a simple choice — such as the matrimonial property regime — can have very different consequences depending on the country involved.
In Italy, couples may choose between separation of assets and community of assets.
But in common law jurisdictions, these concepts may be interpreted differently.
And in an international family crisis, this can make all the difference.
For global families, legal planning is essential.
It is no longer enough to ask:
“Where do we live?”
We must also ask:
“Which law applies?”
“Which court has jurisdiction?”
“How can children and assets be protected?”
“How can long and expensive disputes be avoided?”
The future of family law is international.
And Italy must be ready.

A growing number of expats, international families and high-net-worth private clients are choosing Italy as the centre of their personal and financial lives.
But when residence, family relationships and assets are spread across multiple jurisdictions, legal complexity inevitably increases.
And in these scenarios, strategy, discretion and forward planning make all the difference.
On 29 April 2026, at Palazzo Biandrà, Milan, I have organised an exclusive invitation-only event focused on a highly relevant theme:
International Families, Italian Residence, Global Assets
Marriage, Wealth Protection and Divorce Strategy in Italy
This event is designed for those who wish to explore the issues of wealth protection, jurisdiction, applicable law and international family planning through a selective, practical and strategic lens.
Invitation only.
