Managing multiple brand pages on Facebook and Instagram is essential to our business visibility. When access to our accounts was unexpectedly lost following a breach, we faced total operational paralysis. Chetcuti Cauchi’s legal team provided structured, strategic support—guiding us through Meta’s opaque processes and securing full recovery of all our pages. Their responsiveness, discretion, and expertise were exactly what we needed.

Chambers & Partners, Global Guide, 2024

I  highly recommend the services of Chetcuti Cauchi. They assisted me as my  appointed Resident Agent with the MDIA, they fully understood my requirements  and also have a great reputation as a top law firm in Malta, making them an  ideal chioce. They delivered my project on scedule, which had a tight  deadline.

Chetcuti  Cauchi has embraced a flexible and modern approach to hybrid working. Rather  than prescribe a set number of office days, the firm empowers employees to  exercise their judgement in how they manage their working schedule. So long  as underlying principles of providing an excellent client service and a  collaborative team environment are met, employees have a great degree of  freedom in how, and where, they work.

I have had the pleasure of having Chetcuti Cauchi as my lawyers for my Maltese Citizenship application and also for property acquisition in Malta. I am extremely satisfied with their professionalism and attention to detail at all times making them, in my experience, one of the best law firms I have ever dealt with anywhere. I am truly honoured to be their client and shall continue to remain so.

CEO & Founder, Diversified Multinational Group of Companies, GCC

The professionalism and international collaboration of Chetcuti Cauchi’s team are a testament to their cohesive corporate culture. They are prompt in communication and consistently reliable, always delivering on their promises and never committing to tasks they cannot fulfil. This dependability gives us great peace of mind at the start of every project. In particular, we have been working with Magdalena Velkovska and Antoine Saliba Haig, who have been pivotal in building our trust in CC.

Residency & Citizenship Client

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.

John Stelling

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 PR sticker /  E-residence card renewals. They always handle our matters very efficiently  and professionally. The consultants that work with us are friendly, helpful  and very competent. 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. We can highly recommend them for any of the services that they offer.

Chetcuti  Cauchi has been doing many different aspects of IP work for us for several  years, and I have always been more than satisfied with their work.    All the people at the firm with whome I have been in contact have been very  professional, efficient and quick in their efforts to assist us.    Dr Maria Chetcuti Cauchi has always kept me well informed about every angel  of the matters we have dealt with, extremely professional and I fully trust  her advice and suggestions. Another thing which I have appreciated is her  swift way of replying to our requests.I can highly recommend the firm  Chetcuti Cauchi to anybody who needs IP advice on Malta.

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.

Christian Joseph Agius

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.
