Simon Tortell & Associates has been selected as the winner of three Corporate Intl Magazine Global Awards 2010, namely, Full Service Advisory Firm of the Year in Malta, Investment Advisory Firm of the Year in Malta and Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory Firm of the Year in Malta.

Corporate INTL is one of the leading international monthly titles for business leaders, professional advisors and providers of finance throughout the world that discusses the key issues of the day as well as featuring, up to date commentary on a host of practice areas, sectors and market reviews from leading experts in domestic and international business.

The Corporate INTL Global Awards are organised by the magazine on an annual basis following extensive research on the main market players in over 45 jurisdictions. This research includes a review of the main transactions on which the shortlisted firms would have been involved, also drawing insight from business leaders throughout the world.

The firm's achievement will be highlighted on an awards supplement to be published by Corporate INTL and distributed among all the magazine's readers as well as on a purposely set-up website.

These awards recognise the firm's commitment and reputation for offering clients the best service and advice in a vast number of practice areas and constitute proof that despite the fact that it was only set up a year ago, it has already placed itself amongst the market leaders.

"The philosophy at Simon Tortell and Associates is to train its lawyers not only to apply the law to any given transaction but to familiarise themselves with the markets in which they operate with the ultimate goal of finding the best solutions for clients. This commitment to excellence has been recognised and appreciated by a client base that ranges from leading investment banks and multinationals to local companies and individuals operating in a multitude of practice areas," a statement by the firm said.
