E&S Group appoints new Head of Legal

E&S Group has announced the appointment of Dr Anton John Mifsud as the new Head of Legal.

E&S Group is a Malta-based boutique firm with a multi-disciplinary practice covering a number of innovative industries. Its exceptional track record has earned it a place as one of the leading corporate, commercial, tax, and fiduciary service providers in the country and over the last 18 months it has also established itself as an industry leader in the crypto sphere. The Group also offers a range of advisory services in relation to ICOs, token offerings, blockchain, and other cryptocurrency-related activities that are provided for under Maltese law.

Following this success, E&S Group has also launched its own FinTech division in earlier this year that is designed to be a key contributor and builder of the blockchain and FinTech ecosystem, including the provision of bank handling and payment solutions.

Mifsud will head the legal department at E&S Group, overseeing a team of dynamic professionals that provide legal advice to the Groups’ clients both in Malta and abroad.

“I am delighted to take up the role of Head of Legal at E&S Group. As one of the most pioneering firms in the sector, I feel that my experience in financial services and FinTech from a legal perspective can greatly complement the full portfolio of services that the firm offers its local and international clientele. I look forward to growing both personally and professionally with E&S Group and seeing what the future holds in terms of this dynamic sector over time in Malta.”

Mifsud graduated from the University of Malta as a lawyer in 2009 and was admitted to the Bar in 2010. He holds a Bachelor of Laws, a Masters in Financial Services and a Doctorate in Law, and is a member of the Malta Chamber of Advocates. After spending some years working at a mid-sized local law firm as well as a fund administration company, he decided that it was time to progress and moved on to E&S Group where he was appointed Head of Legal.

His brief not only entails the management and supervision of the legal department but also includes advising the Groups’ international clientele with respect to conducting their businesses in Malta. He is also involved in the negotiation and conclusion of agreements on behalf of clients.

His experience in corporate, commercial, and FinTech sectors makes him an asset to both E&S Group and the clients that are serviced.
