Possibly the oldest law firm in Malta, Fenech & Fenech Advocates’ origins can be traced back to 1891 when Constantino Fenech started his legal practice as a solicitor.

The firm experienced a rapid expansion in the mid-1980s in the areas of international law, such as maritime law, ship and asset finance, corporate finance, investments and securities law, corporate law, merges and acquisition as well as international tax planning and the use of Maltese corporate and trust vehicles for the more rational structuring of business and financing activities in international operations.
