The story of our law firm is now a fifteen year old + story. The Firm was established in 2019 by two long-time friends and colleagues, Christian Farrugia and Tonio Fenech, who are both University of Malta and University College London alumni. Christian and Tonio set out on their journey together after working separately with their respective family law firms for several years. Together, and combining their respective professional competences and experiences, they built the Firm’s reputation for the top-quality services it enjoys today and attracted to it a team of lawyers and industry specialists who play a very important part in the work-ethical and professional standards for which it is also known.

Over the years the Firm gradually admitted new partners to lead it. Besides Christian, its current partners are Denia Ellul, Damien Degiorgio, Katia Mercieca and Manfred Galdes, all well known in their respective spheres of competence.
