The modern world has seen an increasing complexity of today's business environment as well as the intertwining of the legal, economic and financial professions that support it. The legal profession itself has had to face these new challenges of adaptation to the new world order where the letter of the law cannot be separated from the numeric and technical context within which it operates. This has led law, accountancy, management economics graduates to work shoulder to shoulder and sharing their now overlapping know-how. For many years the legal profession in Malta has reacted to the developing needs of its clientele, signficantly influenced by key legisltive developments that have positioned Malta as a top financial centre and a member of the European Union.
Becoming a lawyer in Malta means joining a thriving, exciting industry in which one can expect a challenging but satisfying career. The majority of Malta's law firms are family businesses of varying sizes some of which specialise in the traditional areas of criminal, civil and commercial law, whilst others have expanded into wider practice areas. Of international relevance are Malta's key strengths in Maritime Law, Corporate Law, Online Gaming & Technology Law, as well as Financial Services Regulation.
The Maltese legal job market has opened new possibilities for employment departing from the traditional litigator and commercial lawyer and creating openings for graduates and para-legals in the above areas of Maltese law. These developments have seen young and dynamic companies grow through their innovations in the field.
The legal profession reacts positively to changing times and has weathered a number of economic downturns, even finding opportunities where other professions have struggled. It has retained its quality standards and respect for the profession and is constantly driven by newcomers who want to exceed levels of specialisation currently available in the local legal scene.
