Overview

Established a decade ago, the tax team has become the largest within a Maltese law firm, challenging the dominance of the Big Four. Comprising ten specialist tax lawyers and a 12-member compliance team, the department offers strategic, high-value solutions across transactional tax, cross-border restructuring, litigation, indirect tax, and private client services. With a strong international client base, particularly in digital industries, the team has advised both Maltese and Brazilian authorities on tax policy. Led by Ramona Azzopardi, a top-ranked tax lawyer, and joined by UK tax expert Mark Galea Salomone, the team is a trusted advisor in complex, multi-jurisdictional matters. 

During the research period, the tax team has advised multiple clients on tax matters all of which are confidential.
