Bio
Dr Charlene Mifsud leads the firm’s Property & Real Estate Law practice and the Corporate & Commercial team. She advises high‑net‑worth individuals, family offices, international investors, and corporate groups on strategic decisions involving property, succession, and corporate structuring.
Recognised for her calm authority, precision, and multidisciplinary depth, Charlene brings together real‑estate expertise with corporate, tax, residency, and succession considerations to deliver integrated solutions. Her approach ensures that clients’ assets, transactions, and long‑term objectives are aligned within coherent, future‑proof legal structures.
Experience
Dr Charlene Mifsud is widely recognised as one of Malta’s leading lawyers in real estate, succession and estate planning, corporate law, and foundations. As a Partner at Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates, she routinely acts on high‑value, high‑complexity matters, from landmark property transactions to multi‑layered restructuring of property‑holding entities.
Her background in notarial law gives her a rare dual perspective: she combines the precision required in title analysis and conveyancing with the strategic mindset valued by commercial clients. This equips her to manage cross‑border property acquisitions, complex ownership structures, planning and regulatory matters, and structuring of family or investor‑led real estate portfolios.
Charlene also advises on long‑term succession and legacy planning, drafting wills, and assisting with asset‑holding structures that preserve family wealth across generations. She works closely with family offices on estate planning, foundations, and wealth‑transition architecture, ensuring that property, commercial and personal dynamics are harmonised in a legally robust manner.
She is ranked by Chambers Europe (Corporate/Commercial), where clients describe her as “elegant in the face of fire and entirely competent” and “very dedicated, very responsive”
Her leadership in the real estate sector is reflected in her involvement in major industry events. She has been invited to speak at the MARE Summit, addressing sustainable development and distressed asset strategy, and at Andersen Spain’s Madrid panel on Distressed M&A, evidencing her standing within the European property and restructuring space.
Recent mandates include:
- Leading the restructuring of Maltese property‑holding entities within international group structures
- Advising on multi‑million‑euro development projects and planning considerations
- Coordinating the firm’s contribution to the ICLG Real Estate Guide 2025, where the firm acts as Malta’s exclusive contributor
Charlene’s client base spans from private UHNW families to international corporations — all seeking her trademark combination of technical excellence, strategic clarity, and composed leadership.
