Hassans has been providing legal advice locally and cross borders since 1939 and is the largest law firm in Gibraltar.

Together, Hassans and Gibraltar have comprehensive resources and a solid infrastructure to ensure that our legal advice can be executed efficiently. Our expertise extends beyond Gibraltar and covers key jurisdictions around the world.

Our clients are diverse but our approach is consistent: to understand our clients, provide superior advice and get results. Many of our private clients are highly successful entrepreneurs, we help them grow and protect their assets.

As well as individuals, we act for companies, from local businesses to Fortune 100 multinationals that operate in a number of jurisdictions. We also advise financial institutions, including the major investment banks and insurance companies, enabling them to set up and run new entities and products.

Our status and expertise allows us to advise the Gibraltar Government on new laws; we have been instrumental in helping to develop local tax legislation and in 2014, aided the delivery of a new Companies Act and Insolvency Act; an important step for Gibraltar’s businesses, marking us out as a mature and modern marketplace.

We strive to help Gibraltar continue to develop as a sophisticated and well-regulated financial centre. We welcome measures to prevent money laundering, including initiatives by the EU, FATF and OECD. To this end, we work together with regulators, in particular the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission, to ensure that Gibraltar is a leading and respected offshore financial centre.

Hassans is associated with Line Group, an internationally known fiduciary services provider and one of Gibraltar´s leading players in the provision of trustee services, and the incorporation and management of Gibraltar companies and other corporate vehicles in Gibraltar, as well as in over 25 other jurisdictions for a worldwide client base.
