Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates

About Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates

Operating from a restored palazzo in Valletta, this Maltese law firm has served clients since 2002 and positions itself around international families, founders and investors. It reports working with clients from about 160 countries and a team that speaks some twenty languages, with partner profiles citing English, Maltese, Italian, French and Russian. Beyond legal work, the firm runs in-house company formation, administration and accounting teams, so foreign owners can set up and maintain a Maltese structure without splitting the work between several providers. Its practice areas span private client tax, residence and citizenship pathways, family office advisory, trusts and cross-border structuring, and it has sector groups for gaming, fintech, financial services, shipping, yachting and technology. Partners take part in bodies such as STEP, the Malta Institute of Taxation and the Malta Institute of Accountants. A leadership group of partners and directors is supported by dozens of lawyers, managers and administrators.
