Private client

Malta is widely regarded as a jurisdiction of choice for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) due to its history as a tax efficient jurisdiction and a reputation for being a well-regulated, yet client-oriented, country in which to do business.

Ganado Advocates provides legal advice and ongoing assistance to HNWIs and their families, foundations, trustees, family offices and other wealth management service providers in connection with the planning and structuring of their own or their clients’ private wealth and assets and the regulatory aspects of their fiduciary activities.

Our private client advisors deal with matters such as succession and estate planning, wills, trusts and foundations and similar matters that are inherently private in nature. Transactions in this space range from the creation of structures for both domestic as well as international HNWIs and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), consisting both of trusts and foundations, as well as assistance with contentious matters in this sector. This includes, where required, the acquisition of Maltese citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment, as a second citizenship.

We are able to offer the expertise of lawyers and advisors in various practice areas, including corporate finance and tax, immigration, capital markets, banking and finance, real estate, shipping and yachting, insurance and pensions and litigation and dispute resolution.
