The main function of Legal500 Malta is to provide worldwide coverage to its members situated in over 100 countries. The hugely successful Legal500 Malta guides reviews the strengths and strategies of Malta law firms within Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North and South America, and the Caribbean. These easy-to-navigate and cross-referenced guides provide research and law firm rankings to enable clients to identify the best law firm for the job.
Legal500 launched the first legal referral site on the internet and it has grown to be the largest. The site contains not only the content of the entire Legal500 series, but also a wide range of articles, briefings and updates contributed by member law firms. The Legal500 Malta guide is used by commercial and private clients, corporate counsel, CEOs, CFOs and professional advisers - as well as by other referrers of work both nationally and internationally - the series is widely chosen for its definitive judgment of law firm capabilities over publications such as those compiled by Chambers and Partners or Martindale-Hubbell. Keeping up with the fast technological advancements it is also available as digital publications.
The respected Legal 500 review is predicting further consolidation in the mid-market and the continued rise of niche players challenging established firms.
