Corporate and M&A

With twenty years of experience in this field, we aim to provide clients with innovative and practical solutions to all forms of Corporate and Merger and Acquisition (M&A) transactions. Our lawyers anticipate and resolve issues in all such transactions that require sophisticated strategy and structuring in order to capture and protect value.

These transactions include corporate/investment entities as well as government/ public sector entities. On the corporate side, we also have a long-standing reputation of advising corporate entities on high-value corporate restructuring, including cross-border advice.

That said, our commercial practice constitutes the backbone of the firm’s work. GVTH advises clients at all stages of their commercial transactions. Commercial agreements, franchising, contract negotiation, procurement agreements, construction projects and international trading matters are all representative of the areas that the firm specialises in.

The Corporate department focuses on all aspects of company law and advises clients on company formation, take-overs, mergers and acquisitions as well as liquidation work. We work in close collaboration with leading international and European law firms in advising clients on their international corporate needs. Our client base ranges in size from start-ups to well-established businesses in a wide variety of industries that include technology, pharmaceutical, hospitality, construction and telecommunications.

The reality of globalisation has brought about a significant increase in the number of mergers and acquisitions at both local and international levels. As a result of Malta’s accession to the European Union, this reality has been accelerated by local restructuring that continues to take place across all areas of business. As a result, GVTH has been involved in several large-scale M&As, including a number of take-overs by well-known multinationals.
