Cuschieri Advocates

About Cuschieri Advocates

Operating from Birkirkara, this Maltese law practice combines traditional legal work with a corporate services offering. Its lawyers cover corporate and commercial matters, civil and criminal law, employment, family, property, intellectual property and tax, and the practice also handles company formation and ongoing corporate administration for businesses at different stages of growth. Specialist desks address gaming law and licensing, banking and finance, maritime and aviation, IT and data protection, and anti-money-laundering compliance. The firm also publishes regular commentary on Maltese regulatory and tax topics such as gaming authorisations, AML enforcement, shareholder loans and registered office changes. Its tax practice spans planning, return filing, VAT matters, audits and disputes with the authorities, including cross-border questions on treaties and transfer pricing. The site does not state a founding year, team size or working languages, and it does not describe a specific foreign-client programme, although several topics are aimed at overseas investors and international operators.

Services

Corporate services include setting up companies and administering them afterwards, together with governance, due diligence and regulatory compliance support. The tax team prepares and files returns for individuals and companies, advises on VAT registration and reporting, handles payroll tax obligations, and represents clients in tax audits, appeals and voluntary disclosures. International taxation work covers double taxation treaties, transfer pricing and expatriate planning. AML and counter-terrorist-financing services cover risk assessments, policy drafting, staff training and regulatory reporting. The practice does not advertise bookkeeping or accounts preparation.
