Licence Acquisition

Growing businesses in Malta often need to secure a range of licences, permits and regulatory approvals before they can launch or expand — and working out which ones apply, in what order, and what each will require, is rarely straightforward. Lex Group Advisory helps businesses map this out early, as part of their broader growth planning, so there are no late surprises once a launch date is already in motion. We identify the approvals a project will need and the realistic timeline for each, and flag where specialist advisory support will be required — giving founders and management teams a clear roadmap before the detailed regulatory process begins.

Training and Business Development

Lex Group Advisory designs and delivers professional training under Lex Group Academy, its dedicated training arm established in 2018, alongside broader business development advisory support — from market entry planning to organisational growth strategy. Drawing on experience advising organisations at the highest levels, Lex Group Academy engages only seasoned tutors recognised as leading professionals in their fields, delivering courses in small groups that favour interactive discussion and case studies over traditional lecturing. This gives participants practical, up-to-date insight into how the subject matter applies in practice, equipping them with skills and frameworks they can put to work immediately, whether they are looking to keep pace with new developments or build recognised specialisation in a particular field. For leaders wanting more individual support, we also offer one-to-one executive coaching alongside our programme-based training.

Corporate Governance and Board Effectiveness

Strong, well-run boards don't happen by accident. Drawing on the years its team has spent chairing and serving on a wide range of boards and quasi-judicial bodies, Lex Group Advisory helps organisations build and strengthen their governance structures — from reviewing how an existing board operates, to helping a growing organisation establish proper governance for the first time. Services include governance reviews, board training, and ongoing advisory support for boards and committees.

Regulatory and Public Affairs Strategy

Understanding how to approach a regulator, what a process is likely to involve, and how to position an organisation's case is often as important as the substance itself. Drawing on a public administration background spanning multiple regulatory bodies and government institutions, Lex Group Advisory advises organisations on regulatory and public affairs strategy — helping clients understand the institutional landscape and plan their approach accordingly. Where formal representation before a regulator is required, we work alongside Andy Ellul & Associates to ensure strategy and execution are properly aligned.

HR Matters and Workplace Strategy

Good HR practice is about more than compliance — it shapes how an organisation attracts, manages and retains its people. Lex Group Advisory advises businesses on HR strategy and workplace practices, including policy design, organisational structure, and building workplace practices that support both compliance and culture. Where a matter requires formal employment law advice, we work alongside Andy Ellul & Associates.

PR and Media Advice

How an organisation communicates — to the media, to the public, and during moments of change or scrutiny — can matter as much as the substance behind it. Drawing on years of public life, including regular engagement with national media, the team at Lex Group Advisory advises organisations on media strategy, public communications and reputation management, including how to handle sensitive announcements and periods of public scrutiny. We also provide media training for organisations and their staff, helping teams communicate confidently and consistently across different situations. Where a matter carries a legal dimension — such as defamation risk or communications during a regulatory process — we work alongside Andy Ellul & Associates to keep messaging and legal position aligned.
