About Us

We are a team of highly talented and motivated lawyers with an international practice that extends well beyond Malta. We bring over 28 years’ individual experience in our areas of specialisation, and an outstanding reputation for excellence and deep industry knowledge, both individually and as a team.

We choose not to present ourselves as a general service destination, because we believe clients are looking for specialisation. Instructing us means dealing with legal professionals who are experts in their field.

Our practice focuses on: Corporate, M&A and Finance, Arbitration & Dispute Resolution, Construction and Business Transactions.

Bridging the divide between non-contentious and contentious work is one of our key strengths. We have significant experience working on cross-border matters and over the years, our lawyers have advised on some of Malta’s most complex and high-profile transactions and disputes. In addition, arbitration is a core part of our dispute resolution practice. We have the capability and resources to handle transactions and disputes of any size and complexity within our practice areas.

As a leading firm in our practice areas, we are ideally positioned to assist international clients doing business in or from Malta across various industry sectors. Our clients include government agencies, institutional clients, corporate and private clients.

We also advise domestic clients on their ongoing legal requirements in our areas of practice, and we leverage our international reach to assist Maltese clients undertaking transactions and resolving disputes in other jurisdictions.

Our advice is clear, insightful and pragmatic. We are quality driven, responsive and aim to exceed, not just meet, client expectations.

We are regularly recommended by the main legal directories. Some source commentaries include:

Banking and finance: “Very good eye for detail, strong technical background and a pragmatic approach in resolving issues.” *

Capital markets: Debt: “Very professional, methodical and can-do approach.” *

M&A: “Strong knowledge of Maltese Law/strong technical background – flexibility – availability – respect of deadlines/delivery on time”; … “They are very knowledgeable of the local legal framework and their prompt advice on the various matters portrays their knowledge and experience. They are also very practical and reasonable.” *

Restructuring: Bond holder and fund representation: “Team of experts in the field made progress efficient and timely with the bond issue from beginning to end.” *

* IFLR 1000 (2022 ed)

Dispute Resolution: “The dispute resolution offering at Zammit Pace Advocates is predominantly focused on cases within the corporate and finance spheres; the team is therefore regularly involved with some of the most complex and high-profile cases relating to the banking and investment fund sectors.” **
