MALTA LAW FIRM
OUR STORY
The firm was originally set up in 2011 by founding partners Peter Fenech and Simon Galea Testaferrata as IURIS Malta Advocates, with the aim of bringing together a well-knit team of lawyers, all of whom had worked together for a number of years, to provide a highly professional, yet flexible service to the firm’s clients.
OUR ROOTS
Like many other law firms in Malta, IURIS has its roots in general civil and commercial law, and the members of its team are all well-versed in these pillars of law. The firm has also evolved throughout the years, responding to social, financial and technological developments by expanding its fields of practice in many other areas of law, including among others, corporate law, financial services, intellectual property and equality law. Today, the firm comprises IURIS Advocates, which serves the more traditional civil and commercial law areas of practice and IURIS Consult Limited, which is authorised to act as a Class C – Company Service Provider by the Malta Financial Services Authority, through which it provides corporate services in Malta.
OUR PASSION
Driven by a genuine interest in the law, our dedicated team of Malta company attorneys aims to put all of its resources and knowledge at our clients’ disposal to help them obtain the best possible results. Our philosophy is best summed up in Jean de la Fontaine’s words:
“By the work, one knows the workman.”
OUR OFFICES
Situated in the heart of Malta’s historic capital city, Valletta, within two minutes’ walking distance from the Courts of Justice, our offices occupy a unique period Valletta property which has been painstakingly and expertly restored and houses all of our lawyers and employees under one roof. We also provide services to our sister island of Gozo.
