A Culture of Professional Services

The Islands have a long history of excellence in the professions and today Malta has a large pool of professional support services to business.

A large number of law firms operate on the Islands, and all the leading, international firms have a presence in Malta through associate links with local firms of long-standing repute.  Many firms specialise in key areas of law which are relevant to the Islands’ economy, location and infrastructure.  

Similarly, accountancy and related services such as business consultancy are well represented.  Leading International firms are all present on the Islands.  The Accountancy profession is regulated by the Accountancy Board which oversees all professional conduct and standards and other aspects of practices and individuals operating in the profession.  It has close, consultative links with the Ministry of Finance.
