Family Law in Malta
19/9, Vincenti Buildings,, Strait Street,, Valletta, VLT 1432
Our team of legal professionals specialises in areas such as dispute resolution, real estate, commercial law and aviation.
We assist private clients, in particular servicing the needs and interests of high net worth individuals and their families in residency and citizenship matters and cross-border family law. Our outlook is global. Through our international network of collaborators, we pride ourselves in being at the forefront of legal cases that are complex, which cut across multiple jurisdictions and, in some cases, are outright ground-breaking. Global in terms of reach, personal in our approach.
