What success sounds like,from our clients
We had the pleasure of working with Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates on a number of international legal matters involving Malta real estate, succession planning and private wealth structuring.
The team demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness and strong technical expertise throughout the engagement.
Special thanks to Av. Nicole Borg for her dedication, attention to detail and practical approach in handling our matters, as well as to Dr. Charlene Mifsud and Dr. Luana Cuschieri for their support and guidance.
The Firm combines excellent legal knowledge with a strong understanding of international clients and cross-border transactions.
We look forward to working with them again in the future.
We had a serious problem with a property purchase agreement in Malta and therefore engaged the law firm Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates. Our experience has been entirely positive from the start till the end.
Av. Nicole Borg answered every question quickly and precisely and explained legal matters in a way that was easy to understand. The problems were identified quickly and resolved to our complete satisfaction. I can highly recommend this law firm and Av. Nicole Borg; you won't easily find a comparable firm in Malta that resolves problems so quickly and in the best interests of it clients.
Priscilla Mifsud Parker and Marina Magri guided me through Malta’s citizenship by merit process with exceptional clarity and discipline. They translated complex requirements into a practical roadmap, injected security in a discretionary process, and managed timelines and documentation proactively. Beyond the legal work, they took genuine care to understand the purpose behind my collection and my cultural projects in Malta, helping align the narrative, governance and delivery with Maltese legal requirements. Both were responsive, calm under pressure, and consistently one step ahead – the kind of advisors you want when the details truly matter.
I engaged Chetcuti Cauchi to transition my citizenship by investment process, started before the ECJ decision, to the new Citizenship by Merit laws in Malta. Partners Jean-Philippe Chetcuti, Priscilla Mifsud-Parker, and Antoine Saliba-Haig inspired confidence in their extensive experience from the first conversations, which confirmed my decision to work with a local specialist law firm. JP, Priscilla and Antoine stayed involved throughout the case right to completion, in a process that clearly needed senior legal attention. I am now a proud Maltese citizen, having moved from the US to Malta with my family. I'm in love with Malta, the Mediterranean lifestyle, the inclusivity and above all, the warm people I now form part of.
It took me time to find such a well-informed source of guidance in establishing a course of action that best suits my circumstances in preserving my quality of life and assets. Taxation regulations differ from country to country, making professional advice essential. I have no hesitation in stating that I found Messrs. Chetcuti Cauchi, and more specifically Magdalena Velkovska, as an illuminated lighthouse of information and advice on Maltese law and regulations – help that has been invaluable to me.
Maria - very available and attentive and extremely technical. Susanna - very helpful and practical.
Managing multiple brand pages on Facebook and Instagram is essential to our business visibility.

Their responsiveness, discretion, and expertise were exactly what we needed.

I approached Chetcuti Cauchi with the objective of establishing a company in order to provide public health information management services to collaborators throughout the European Union. From my first interaction with them through phone discussions and emails to ongoing communications and a visit to their offices in Valletta, I have been extremely pleased with their professionalism, competence, and timeliness. They have been very attentive to the specific needs of my company’s collaborations and have provided much-valued guidance and support both in establishing the company and in its ongoing operations. I am very satisfied with the work so far, and look forward to more successful interactions in the future.
My wife and I have an association with Chetcuti Cauchi since 2009. They assisted us with our original residence permit applications for Malta and since then have taken care of our annual income tax submissions and Permanent Residence and residence card renewals.

They are familiar with the regulations and procedures in the related government departments, and this makes the process run extremely smoothly for us. We are very satisfied with the service we received from Chetcuti Cauchi and will continue to maintain our relationship with them in future.

Dr Natasha Cachia’s experience in Financial services in Malta were invaluable to Porterpays team as we establish our business here in Malta. They have worked in a professional manner and were constantly supportive and open to understand new innovative ways in payments and provided us with a stellar advice.
Jean-Philippe was a key advisor to me on the general European and in particular Maltese related tax, legal, accounting and secretarial aspects of a rather complex corporate group structure. We were operating in an extremely dynamic situation, and I was most grateful for his patience and understanding when we had to scrap the last idea and start all over again. He is highly professional, responsive and is excellent at finding practical solutions to difficult situations, whatever the time of day or night. He also has an excellent relationship with his team, and the service provided by his firm is intelligent, joined up and seamless. He is good humoured and imminently likeable and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
