Community

We are dedicated to contributing to the community and making a positive impact.

At Chetcuti Cauchi, we understand that our mission goes beyond providing excellent legal service to our clients. We are committed to give back to the community, and make a difference. Together with constantly serving our clients with the highest level of ethical professionalism and promoting morality within the legal profession, as a firm, we have taken various incentives to give back.

Gift of Time

At Chetcuti Cauchi, we believe that nothing is more valuable than the Gift of Time. Throughout the year, each department of the firm adopts up to two causes, raises funds for it, and during the year and especially Christmas time, each department dedicates time, energy and funds to help their causes.

Art Exhibitions

In 2010 Chetcuti Cauchi moved into a renovated 17th century palazzo. Palazzo Ursula, that we now call home, lends itself well as a backdrop to some of Malta’s foremost and upcoming artistic talent. From paintings, ceramics to sculptures, we support local artists by showcasing their work. A generous part of the proceeds from the sale of items being displayed at our offices is donated to local charities supported by the firm. Some of the artists featured include Joe Xuereb, Adrian Scicluna and Christopher Saliba.

Pro Bono

We believe that is it our duty as citizens and lawyers, not to stand on the sidelines. Therefore, we give great importance to using the knowledge and expertise which we have gathered to help the less fortunate, and most vulnerable. We assist a number of foundations and organisations with their legal requirements pro bono.

Start-Ups & Innovation

Since inception, Chetcuti Cauchi has understood the importance of innovation. Being one of the few law firms in Malta to operate paper-less from day one, we recognise that technology and innovation are not only the future, but the present. Chetcuti Cauchi prides in assisting inventors reach their goals and aspirations. A number of lawyers, including our founding partner, Dr Maria Chetcuti Cauchi have assisted the Malta Council of Science and Technology, by providing legal advice, particularly with regard to the patentability of novel inventions. We have also assisted the University of Malta in a number of intellectual property issues.

Being once a start-up ourselves, we understand that the initial years of a company may make or break new entrepreneurs. Therefore, we assist start-up find their feet by providing legal support and assistance at a revised rate.

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.

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.

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.

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.
