GTG Recognised Across Key Sectors in Latest Chambers and Legal 500 Rankings

Mar 27, 2026 – Valletta, Malta

GTG continues to strengthen its international profile with a series of recognitions across the Chambers Global, Chambers Europe, Chambers FinTech, and Legal 500 EMEA 2026 guides.

More than a collection of rankings, these results highlight a firm positioned across both core business law practices and the industries shaping the future of the legal market — from corporate and finance to gaming, fintech, and digital regulation.

This trajectory was already reflected in GTG Legal’s inclusion in the Chambers Global Guide 2026 for General Business Law and Gaming & Gambling.

Positioned Across Core and Emerging Industries

GTG Legal’s rankings in the Chambers Europe Guide 2026 confirm its strong footing in Malta’s legal market, with recognition in two practice areas and three individually ranked lawyers. The firm received a Band 3 for General Business Law and Shipping departments. Robert Tufigno was ranked Band 2 for Shipping expertise and Terence Cassar was ranked Band 4 under Corporate/Commercial. With his 14th year of Chambers ranking, Ian Gauci is the 2026 Spotlight for Intellectual Property & TMT.

These build on the firm’s Chambers Global 2026 recognition, where Terence Cassar is ranked in both Corporate/Commercial and Gaming & Gambling, alongside Reuben Portanier, who is recognised in Gaming & Gambling.

Across these guides, GTG Legal is recognised for its work in corporate transactions, regulatory advisory, and complex cross-border matters, particularly within financial services, gaming, and commercial sectors.

The firm’s positioning is further reinforced in the Chambers FinTech 2026 Guide, where Ian Gauci and Cherise Abela Grech are acknowledged for their work in financial regulation, digital assets, and emerging technologies.

Together, these recognitions reflect a firm that operates confidently across traditional legal frameworks and fast-evolving, innovation-led sectors, advising clients in areas where regulation and business strategy increasingly intersect.

Broad Capability Reflected in Legal 500 EMEA Rankings

The Legal 500 EMEA 2026 rankings further expand this picture, recognising GTG Legal across eight practice areas:

  • Banking, Finance and Capital Markets
  • Commercial, Corporate and M&A
  • Dispute Resolution
  • Intellectual Property
  • Private Client
  • Real Estate
  • Shipping
  • Fintech

In addition, five lawyers are individually acknowledged — Ian Gauci, Terence Cassar, Robert Tufigno, Cherise Abela Grech, and Josef Cachia Fenech Gonzi — reflecting the depth and collaboration across the firm.

These rankings demonstrate GTG Legal’s ability to support clients across the full lifecycle of business operations, from structuring and financing to disputes, regulatory matters, and sector-specific advisory work.

Client feedback collected independently by Legal 500 highlights the firm’s approach:

“the team’s ability to combine strong legal expertise with a pragmatic, business-oriented approach”
“their responsiveness, clarity, and commitment to delivering solutions aligned with our strategic objectives.”

A Platform Bridging Tradition and Innovation

Taken together, GTG Legal’s presence across multiple Chambers guides — including Global, Europe, and FinTech — alongside its strong showing in Legal 500 EMEA, reflects a firm that is not only consistently recognised, but also strategically positioned across sectors that define today’s legal market.

From corporate and finance to gaming, fintech, and digital industries, GTG Legal continues to build a practice that combines technical strength, regulatory insight, and commercial awareness.

GTG thanks its clients for their continued trust and its team for their dedication and expertise in achieving these results.
