Some recent work highlights

We've put up a very interesting section on our website. Basically we're highlighting some of the work that we've been engaged to handle over the last few months. This should be useful reading for anyone who is interesting in getting to know better what is going on with the Maltese financial services industry, how it's growing, and the kind of activity that takes place. Some of the material will be familiar to more regular readers of this blog, but there are various interesting bits and pieces such as work relating to the regulatory implications of social networks with a focus on securities trading activity. Some of the other engagements highlighted include, in no particular order:

• Advising on the tax and regulatory implications of a cross border loan
• Creation of PIF structures for start up fund managersAssisting own account securities, commodities and forex traders
• Obtainment of exemptions from regulation
• Set-up and passporting of investment advisory firms

I think the diversity of engagements serves to show how interesting and well-populated the local financial services industry has become. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss situations similar to the above.
