Maria is a Senior Associate within the Corporate & Commercial Department at Fenech & Fenech Advocates. Her main areas of practice are Commercial, Corporate and Trust law.

After obtaining her Bachelor of Laws and Master of Advocacy degrees from the University of Malta in 2017 and 2018 respectively, Maria then furthered her studies in London where she read for a Master of Laws (LLM) at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she specialised in Corporate and Commercial Law.

At Fenech & Fenech, Maria regularly advises clients on a broad range of company law and corporate matters, including liquidations, insolvency and restructuring procedures, company reinstatements, and domestic and cross-border corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions. In 2026, she was granted a licence to practice as an Insolvency Practitioner under the Insolvency Practitioners Act (Chapter 632 of the Laws of Malta), authorising her to act in a range of insolvency and restructuring appointments under Maltese law.

Maria also forms part of the Trusts and Foundations Department of the Firm and regularly advises clients on which vehicle would best suit their needs: be it a trust, foundation or association and the intricacies involved in the establishment of these structures. Together with the rest of the team, she also regularly assists the key-players within these structures such as the trustees or administrators, with any legal advice they require.
