Commercial Law Firm of the Year Malta

Firm Profile

Camilleri Preziosi is a leading Maltese law firm with a commitment to deliver an efficient service to clients by combining technical excellence with a solution driven approach to the practice of law. There can be no compromise on

striving for excellence - not only in recruiting and training the best lawyers but in embracing a work ethic founded on the core values of honesty, integrity and quality of service. We take a multi-disciplinary

approach to our practice and all our lawyers advise across a broad range of areas. Each lawyer within the firm will have a specific area or areas of practice that indicates a particular competence and experience in that sector, but he or she does not practice exclusively in that area. Our clients work with lawyers they

know well, and who know them and their businesses. The close relationships we develop and the keen interest we take in our clients’ businesses enable us to give practical and effective advice. In other words, advice that adds value.
