Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates contributes to Mondaq’s Family Office Comparative Guide for Malta

We have a superstar client point of contact in Magdalena Velkovska. We use the firm for everything - setting up and managing entities, asset purchases and disposals, citizenship, tax, and as such use members of the entire team. She provides a superior, single point of contact.

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.

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.

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.

We have worked with Magdalena Velkovska, and she is exceptional, detailed, and deal oriented. She has responded in time, giving us, prompt, well explained detailed information on the subject.

Magdalena Velkovska is a very knowledgeable and competent lawyer. Her experience is evident as she is even pre-empting what would my questions be, what I would be concerned about - and she addressed all these points in the most calm, clear and understandable way. She was very diligent, reliable and prompt in handling all my matters and applied thorough legal analysis to my case, unlike the previous lawyer I had engaged. She is very easy to work with, and I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Chetcuti has always shown great wisdom and knowledge. He’s remarkably courteous and client-oriented.

Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates boasts an incredibly diverse and talented team. Everyone brings skills, knowledge and experience to the table, creating a dynamic and collaborative environment.

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 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.
