About Acumum Chambers

Breadth of specialisations in a boutique offering

Independent and professional, we provide specialised legal services to clients in England and Wales and, through reciprocity agreements, appear before courts and tribunals in most Commonwealth (offshore) and international jurisdictions. Our Barristers’ Chambers, which are registered with the General Council of the Bar of England and Wales, are located in Malta, UK and Ireland. Our independence is ensured through taking on client work directly, rather than being part of a larger structure, such as a law firm. We never delegate work, we provide you with our dedicated attention, at competitive rates.

Services

Legal opinion

Clear advice on matters of importance

Also known as ‘Counsel’s Opinion’, we provide written opinions on the law following a detailed consideration of a client’s matter. Opinions, which encompass both legal and procedural viewpoints, are often a requirement in specific legal situations. These include determining the strengths and/or weaknesses of a case before pursuing litigation or considering a defence, and include matters involving insurance and corporate governance, among others.

Available in Ireland, Malta and the UK.

Dual legal opinion: Brexit

An established foot in both camps

Having barristers registered in Malta and the UK provides us with an advantageous position to offer dual legal opinion on both EU and British matters. This is particularly relevant to British companies with interests in Malta, including justifying a board’s decision to directors and shareholders, for example.

Available in Ireland, Malta and the UK.

Bribery and corruption

Receiving the correct advice

Businesses have to take great care today to ensure that employees do not step into error by providing incentives and hospitality for business purposes. It has become essential to receive competent advice before embarking on missions for foreign business. Such advice need not cost a fortune.

Available in Ireland, Malta and the UK.
