Malta Business Review Special Feature: Malta’s Best in Business Awards Chance Favours the Prepared Mind By Martin Vella MBR talks with Dr Andy Ellul and Dr Vincent Micallef, founding partners of Micallef & Ellul Advocates, considered as one of Malta’s leading multi-disciplinary firms, winners of Malta's Best-in-Business Law Firm of the Year Award 24
Special Feature: Malta’s Best in Business Awards Malta Business Review MBR: What is the secret to the success of Micallef & Ellul Advocates? VM: Micallef & Ellul Advocates believes that the values of commitment, reliability and excellence form the basis upon which every success story is built. However, whilst keeping these values at its core, the firm believes that the key to success in its profession is client satisfaction. This is fully achieved by listening and comprehending to the clients’ needs so as to find the best possible tailormade solution. It is precisely that customer satisfaction which attracts more clients. Clients retain and recommend the firm’s services, thus becoming the firm’s ambassadors in this increasingly competitive industry. From its inception, the firm realised that placing its clients at the centre of its activities was significant for its establishment in the legal community as we know it today. MBR: How do you define what your focus is today? AL: Our focus at Micallef & Ellul Advocates is very much based on the prevalent modern ideology that being successful does no longer depend on the size of human or physical resources, but is all about having a solid and reliable network which delivers. The firm’s aim is not to compete with other law firms on the basis of employing more and more resources. On the contrary, the firm is focused on remaining a boutique law-firm albeit with a difference, that is by expanding the practice through extensive outsourcing and networking arrangements with the right individuals. With this in mind, the firm has started to promote its legal services abroad, such as in Dubai, Lebanon, Jordan, China and South Africa. The quest to constantly seek alternative channels of doing business and the ability to seize the opportunity when it presents itself, reflects itself in the internationalisation of new services being offered by the firm. MBR: Does Micallef & Ellul Advocates have a specific sector expertise or do you have broad expertise across all sectors when it comes to delivering legal solutions and advice? AL: Whilst understanding that nowadays law firms may be better off when specialising in a particular field of law, thereby enhancing the competitive advantages applicable to that specific field, Micallef & Ellul Advocates has purposely chosen to position the firm as a boutique law firm in such a way as to create value to its clientele - thus differentiating the level of service from that of other larger and longer established law firms. MBR: Do you consider the recent prestigious award as ‘Malta's Best-in- Business Law Firm of the Year Award’ as a recognition of the Micallef & Ellul Advocates business model? VM: The firm’s professional approach together with the values it upholds, coupled with the constant drive to further improve its already reputable standards, makes Micallef & Ellul Advocates a lawfirm worthy of the recognition it received. This recognition will undoubtedly serve as a further incentive towards the firm’s strategic direction, that to become one of the island’s premier legal and consultancy firms. We intend to continue doing what we do best, like we did 10 years ago when planning for where we are today! The ‘Malta’s Best-in- Business Law Firm of the Year Award 2016’ was definitely a moral boost to all of us.
