Global Law Experts Appoints Alessandro Gravante as Exclusive Family Law Specialist for Italy

Global Law Experts welcomes Alessandro Gravante of Giambrone as our Exclusive Member for Family Law in Italy

Global Law Experts is pleased to announce the appointment of Alessandro Gravante of Giambrone as our Exclusive Member for Family Law in Italy. This strategic addition strengthens our ability to offer clients, in-house counsel and fellow member firms seamless access to high-calibre legal assistance on family law matters arising in Italy, including complex cross-border disputes and sensitive domestic proceedings.

Why Alessandro Gravante was chosen

In selecting an exclusive representative for Family Law in Italy, Global Law Experts sought a practitioner who combines deep substantive knowledge of Italian family law with practical experience in cross-border and multi-jurisdictional family matters. Alessandro stood out for several compelling reasons:

• Demonstrated expertise in family law: Alessandro’s practice is focused on family and matrimonial law, covering divorce and separation, child custody and access, spousal and child support (alimony and maintenance), property division between spouses and partners, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. That focused expertise aligns with the needs of clients seeking specialist advice on Italian family law.

• Strong cross-border capability: Italy is frequently involved in international family disputes — from jurisdictional challenges under EU regulations to enforcement of foreign judgments and international child abduction cases under the Hague Convention. Alessandro’s experience advising on transnational family matters, coordination with foreign counsel and navigating EU and international instruments makes them an excellent fit for our global network.

• Balance of litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Successful family law practice demands both courtroom skill and a sophisticated ADR toolbox. Alessandro has demonstrated ability across contested litigation and collaborative processes such as mediation and negotiation, enabling tailored strategies that prioritise clients’ objectives — whether that means pursuing efficient settlement, protecting children’s welfare, or litigating complex asset disputes.

• Client-focused and culturally attuned approach: Family law matters are often personal, time-sensitive and emotionally charged. Alessandro’s approach emphasizes clear communication, empathy, and pragmatic problem-solving. This client-centred style is indispensable for international clients requiring counsel who understands both the legal and human dynamics of family disputes in Italy.

• Local knowledge and procedural fluency: An effective Italy-based family law adviser must be fluent in Italian civil and procedural law, local court practice, and regional variations. Alessandro’s familiarity with domestic procedural systems, enforcement mechanisms and local court cultures ensures robust handling of filings, hearings and enforcement actions throughout Italy.

• Commitment to professional excellence and ethics: Integrity, confidentiality and responsiveness are essential in family law. Alessandro’s reputation for professional ethics and meticulous case management aligns with the standards Global Law Experts expects from all its exclusive members.

What this appointment means for clients and the network

With Alessandro Gravante joining Global Law Experts as our exclusive Family Law member for Italy, clients and referring firms can expect:

• Direct access to a specialist who can manage the full lifecycle of a family law matter in Italy — from initial strategy and risk assessment through negotiation, mediation and litigation, and enforcement of domestic or international orders.

• Support for cross-border matters: Assistance with jurisdictional analysis, Hague Convention applications for child return cases, recognition and enforcement of foreign divorce and custody orders, and coordination with counsel in other jurisdictions to protect assets and parental rights.

• Specialist advice on nuanced or emerging areas: Family law increasingly intersects with assisted reproduction, surrogacy, same-sex family rights, parental responsibility in blended families, and complex asset structures (including trusts and companies). Alessandro is positioned to advise on these evolving issues within the framework of Italian law and international instruments.

• Efficient collaboration with other Global Law Experts members: As part of our network, Alessandro will collaborate closely with our members worldwide to deliver integrated solutions for multinational families, expatriates, corporate clients with family-related disputes, and private clients with international estates and family offices.
