Employment

Malta attracts a significant amount of people to take up employment opportunities on the island, as it provides an attractive fiscal regime, a stable political and economic climate, first class industrial relations and an appealing location in the centre of the Mediterranean. Malta’s workforce is multilingual, with the absolute majority of the population speaking both English and Maltese, is highly skilled and adapts quickly to new technology and market requirements.

Ganado Advocates has been a long-standing leader in Malta, assisting clients with solutions relating to employment. The firm works very closely with policy makers on employment law and the partner leading our employment law practice represents the interests of employers in the name of the Chamber of Commerce on Malta’s Employment Relations Board – a consultative board aimed at tendering advice on employment conditions to the Minister responsible for employment and industrial relations.

Our employment team acts for many of the islands’ employers on an array of areas such as the drafting of contracts of employment, employment handbooks, employment policies, share option schemes, pension schemes and other related documents. We also assist clients in relation to dismissals, termination of employment, redundancies and collective redundancies, matters relating to employee information and consultation, the transfer of undertakings and employee protection, employment discrimination and harassment, industrial disputes and all types of litigation connected with such matters offering down to earth solution based advice.
