Corporate & Commercial

“We advise on every aspect of commercial law, from human resources and commercial contracts to advertising, data protection and intellectual property. But we are more than simply reactive. Because we understand our clients’ commercial environment and the opportunities available to them, we can be instrumental in helping their businesses to grow.

We also advise and act for clients who require funding from financial institutions in respect of their business dealings through the use of Gibraltar companies”.

Commercial

Our expertise and resources provide comprehensive support for every aspect of business and commercial transactions.

We advise on matters concerning commercial contracts, human resources, data protection, advertising, and intellectual property issues, such as trademarks and patents.

Our approach is not just to offer legal advice, but to gain a real understanding of the commercial opportunities open to our clients so that we can help them to grow their business.

Gibraltar is increasingly becoming established as an attractive EU holding company jurisdiction. We also advise international banks on the capacity and security aspects of funding involving Gibraltar companies.

Capital Duty and Tax Planning

We are active and innovative in helping many Fortune 250 companies in their capital duty and tax planning.

Numerous global corporations have used our expertise to help them set up European operations and transfer assets in a way that is capital duty and tax efficient.

Corporate Structuring and Reorganisations

Given Gibraltar's favourable tax regime and our position as the leading local law firm, we can advise and help manage our corporate clients’ tax matters very effectively.

We advise FTSE 100 companies on how they can benefit from holding company structures to mitigate European withholding taxes.

Online Gaming

We have worked, and continue to do so, with the Gibraltar Government to develop the online gaming industry in Gibraltar. We have advised on all aspects of regulatory tax, corporate and employment matters, relating to the gaming sector.

We have also recently helped with the listing on the London Stock Exchange of our clients, Party Gaming PLC and 888 Holdings PLC.

Joint Ventures

We often advise clients on joint ventures. We have a creative and practical approach, underpinned by sensible exit strategies.

In establishing joint ventures, we make sure that we have a complete understanding of clients objectives and use the flexibility offered by Gibraltar’s jurisdiction to reach the desired goals.

Structured Finance

We create and manage complex cross-border products and financing structures for major companies and financial institutions.

These structures include securities, derivatives and insurance products.

We advise our clients fully on all aspects of Gibraltar law and all required documentation.
