Should advice be obtained before sending a formal demand?
Where the matter is material, yes. A demand can define the position later relied upon, so the contract, evidence, objectives and possible response should first be considered.
Gauci Legal represents clients in civil and commercial proceedings before the Maltese courts and specialist tribunals and in domestic and international arbitration. Advice is also given before a position is fixed or proceedings begin.
Early assessment
A dispute should first be assessed against the documents, evidence, applicable time limits and available forum. The firm identifies the legal position, practical exposure and procedural options so that the client can decide whether to negotiate, protect its position or proceed formally.
Proceedings and arbitration
The firm acts in civil and commercial litigation, administrative and specialist proceedings, and domestic and international arbitration. The case is prepared around the evidence needed to establish or answer the claim, including technical and financial material where relevant.
Settlement and enforcement
Settlement is considered where it provides a better controlled outcome, but always against the strength of the claim and the remedies available. The firm also advises on precautionary measures, recognition and enforcement, and the practical recovery of sums or property.
Common questions
Before instructing the firm.
Can urgent protective measures be considered?
Yes. Where there is a risk to assets, evidence or the effectiveness of a future judgment, the available precautionary or interim measures can be assessed promptly.
Does the firm act in arbitration?
Yes. Dr Gauci acts as counsel and arbitrator in domestic and international matters, subject to conflict checks and the applicable appointment or arbitration rules.
