The implementation of the Gibraltar Income Tax Act in January 2011 has generated a significant flow of legal work as clients adapted to the new legislation. A strong gaming sector, in conjunction with the jurisdiction’s attractiveness to investment funds and insurance companies, has continued to drive the demand for both regulatory and financial services advice. High-net-worth individuals and families – those with so-called ‘Category 2’ status – continue to relocate to the island to obtain a beneficial tax domicile, so private client work remains robust. Litigators have also been busy, with the collapse of Marrache & Co and the Madoff fraud continuing to generate mandates.

Hassans remains the market’s heavyweight, both in terms of overall size and specialist expertise. Triay & Triay is the second-largest firm in the territory and advises an impressive list of client lists in various practice areas. Isolas follows closely behind in terms of size and commands widespread respect in the market, and Triay Stagnetto Neish and Attias & Levy are also recommended. Cruz & Co has a small but growing team that is increasingly prominent. Verralls Barristers and Solicitors and Stephen Bullock & Company, while relatively small firms, are both recognised market players.
