Crownstone Advocates is an internationally accredited law firm with offices in Malta and the UAE, advising multinational corporations, financial institutions, and high-net-worth individuals on cross-border matters for nearly two decades.
how we organise
A client rarely needs exactly one practice area. A family relocating to Dubai needs immigration advice, a property purchase, and an updated will handled as one conversation, not three separate instructions to three separate departments. We organise our lawyers into five business teams built around how matters actually arrive, each one drawing on the same seven-lawyer bench across both offices.
one bench, five teams
team 01
The team behind company formations, cross-border holding structures, and the tax planning that has to make sense on both sides of the Malta-UAE treaty.
team 02
Property transactions, residency and Golden Visa applications, and the employment contracts that come with moving people and capital between Malta and the UAE.
team 03
Trusts, foundations, and succession planning for families whose assets, and whose children, are often spread across more than one jurisdiction.
team 04
Arbitration, litigation, and maritime disputes, including the vessel arrests and charterparty matters that come with Malta holding one of the largest ship registries in the world.
team 05
Malta Gaming Authority licensing, virtual financial asset compliance, and the intellectual property and insolvency work that shares the same regulatory instincts.
