Cited as one of the best places to live (International Living Magazine, 2011) and one of the top three financial centers to grow in importance in the upcoming years (Global Financial Services Index, London UK, 2010), Malta is positioned as a leader in global market-outreach.

Malta’s legal system is based on the civil-law structure of continental Europe.  Most financial, fiscal and administrative legislation is however based on British (UK) law.  Malta recognises the right of individual petition to the European Courts of Justice, and the European Convention on Human Rights forms part of Malta’s domestic law.
