A brief thank you to Dr Priscilla Mifsud-Parker. You have been instrumental in the guided success of our family business. thanks to you, we have survived the inter-generational transfer of our business while pursuing an aggressive internationalisation drive! Kudos to you and your team!
Chetcuti Cauchi has provided excellent services and put their brilliant knowledge of the immigration by investment processes on the full display. Professional, responsive, and always demonstrating a personal attention to details while providing a holistic approach to our needs.
We are a UK based financial institution, we had a serious problem with a Maltese acquirer who were holding a substantial amount of our funds without any reason for more than a year. As we are based in UK, it was difficult for us to chase the company. We decided to take assistance from Chetcuti Cauchi to get our money back. Dr. Sonia Vancell dealt with the case very efficiently and finally after a long time we got our money back. We had a very bad impression on Maltese companies due to the unethical business policy of the acquirer but Chetcuti Cauchi changed our impression.
We thank Dr. Sonia Vancell and her team for their support.
A terrible experience. A company that has clearly grown too big too fast and are no longer fit for purpose.
They are more focused on the next fee than the job they have already been paid for. Billing is the sole focus of the business without regard for customer satisfaction. Indeed billing often gets in the way of every activity. Expect to spend time resolving billing that doesn't seem to align with the work provided, even if you paid in advance.
They were paid for various tasks and failed to complete any until they had no choice. They have a few really good people but because of the culture of the business, those people have to be focused on hourly rate at all times and have little time to build truly great customer relationships no matter how much you may like them. They are setup to fail because of the culture.. There is little accountability and every task is fragmented between a huge number of departments. We all need to be profitable of course and I like to ensure our vendor relationships arwe managed to mutual benefit but this company take a fee and deliver nothing. Intensely mechanical, as are Maltese lawyers in general, but aggravated by a very transnational way of doing business no matter how big you are as a client.
If we had stayed with this company we would have thought Malta a broken jurisdiction unfit for any sizeable business.
Thankfully we moved on and found that although the jurisdiction is not right for all businesses it is not as complicated or as crippled by poor regulation as we were given to understand.
It is inflexible and mechanical, there are many aspects of regulation which remind you that this is not a place for a large multinational however,. it is companies like this which are the issue, not the regulator
Indeed part of the attraction of Malta is that being a small country they local regulators would enable investment and be more nimble than most larger jurisdictions. . Just be careful of the flaky interpretation of due diligence and proprietary forms for share holder information which particular lawyers may use to data mine your investors. In many countries collecting the date we saw requested would result in prosecution in many jurisdictions.
Great Firm, Very Knowledgeable in the newly introduced DLT laws. Highly
recomendable
I went to buy a passport but they told me they were suspended from the scheme due to some corruption scandal. I was really surprised about that.
My business registration, property purchase and residence permits for family and company executives was handled efficiently. Very knowledgeable and experienced lawyers but above all, very practical. Surprising well run for a top law firm in Malta.
My family business has worked with Chetcuti Cauchi over the past 10 years. As our own business grew and expanded abroad, our lawyers grew too so they contunued to fully serve our legal needs. It is clear they understand business trends and evolve with the markets they serve. I have worked with partners for senior work, and various associates on a number of projects, and have been impressed by the common work ethic of proactiveness and spark, but also sincerity which I value a lot.
Chetcuti Cauchi made an effort to understand our issues when engaged to do some work for us property related. The advice we received was comprehensive and took into account all implications. At all times during the process the team kept us well informed about progress and delivered the work we needed on time
Chetcuti Cauchi provide a very professional and dedicated service with an ethical approach and always one step ahead offering an innovative practice which is incomparable to other businesses in the same field. Very itutive to our requirements and always seeking a precise solution in order to meet our needs and improve our business. Seeking their legal professional advice has been the best decision we've made!
