I obtained my warrant to practice law and became a member of the  Malta Chamber of Advocates in early 2002.  The Chamber is the self-regulating body for the profession of lawyers in Malta.

Other Quals

While finishing my law degree, I decided to obtain my Diploma in Matrimonial Jurisprudence (Canonical Law relating to Marriages) from the Archdiocese of Malta.  This means I can appear before the Ecclesiastical Tribunal in marriage nullity cases.

In 2003, I qualified in EU and Comparative Law (Magister Juris at University of Malta).  In 2007 I completed my Masters in International Maritime Law (LL.M. at the IMO International Maritime Law Institute, a subsidiary of the International Maritime Organisation).

Areas of Practice

My main areas of practice are: corporate law, maritime and transport law, superyachts and aviation and general commercial law, EU law in general, competition law (anti-trust), IT law and electronic communications law.

Work and Involvements

I currently work with Acumum – Legal & Advisory – a boutique firm comprising of trusts, fiduciary and consultancy services, heading up the marine & aviation team.

Since 2009, I am part of the external lecturing staff at different institutes within MCAST. I have also been a guest lecturer in other institutions, in commercial, aviation and maritime law. Occasionally, I have sat on the board of examiners for specialised topics at the University of Malta.

For a few years, I served as a judicial assistant at the Courts of Justice, Malta, which is a semi-judicial role in assisting the judge by compiling reports on legal matters (jurisprudence and texts) so as to support a judgement.

For almost 3 years, I was a director at the Office for Competition (Malta). This gave me a world of experience and contacts in terms of team management and international / EU relations.  The work here gave me the opportunity to participate in meetings of the European Commission.

I have worked with a number of corporate and shipping entities, which gave me the expertise I need for my current role.  This included my own corporate services company, whose business I then merged with Acumum.

This page is not my work page – this is where I keep tabs on my art, my hobbies, my cats and random views on the world.   This site is under development so that I can change it from what used to be a work website, to one about me, myself and I.
