Dr Anthony Farrugia (LL.D.)
Anthony P. Farrugia, is a second generation, highly experienced commercial lawyer, in practice for over 35 years. He is the Senior Partner of his family run law firm Anthony P. Farrugia & Associates.
He graduated as Doctor of Laws from Malta University at 22 years of age, and immediately took up a position within the family practice. Operating initially as a general practitioner, he was exposed to a wide range of legal matters, gaining valuable experience in matrimonial disputes and settlements, maritime work, civil litigation through to serious criminal trials. For the past 10 years, Anthony whilst still running a general practice has concentrated on commercial and company law.
He is the founder of LegumServi, an international affiliation of highly qualified professionals, working together but independently as preferred partners, each offering different specialisations, thereby allowing members the ability to offer their clients a vast range of non-core services, in-house.
As a very young lawyer Anthony concluded one of the largest and most complicated Fire Insurance disputes ever seen in Malta. This high profile litigation, and ultimately its successful settlement, led to Anthony acting as consultant for several major companies including para-statal entities, where he has been instrumental in the negotiation and mostly successful conclusion of what were at times, very sensitive issues. Anthony’s vast experience in commerce allows him to intervene with authority in areas which require cross table negotiation, dispute settlement, board representation or company structuring/re-structuring. He is fully conversant with international banking process requirements and regularly represents and/or advises clients negotiating commercial bank funding or repayment proposals.
His practice within the field of company law, involves assisting clients with purpose-cut corporate structures with appropriate fiscal planning to suit specific business plans.
Although his business is his pleasure (apologies to Xaviera Hollander), Anthony’s other interests include sailing, music of various genres, football (Man.Utd), driving muscle cars, and travel, none of which are sufficiently indulged.
