Originating in 1992 as a collaboration of international merger & acquisition practitioners, by founding brothers: Management consultant Steve D’Alessandro and trust-lawyer Rob D’Alessandro; CREDAL network evolved to integrate management and legal consulting and support within a compliance-driven ethos of: Integrity in form & function via clarity and Multi-disciplinarity. 

     Today the legacy of building value via INTEGRATIVE design, management, and support; lives on via the network’s two specialist firms: CREDAL International Ltd & DAL Advisory Ltd. True to its origins as a family-office owned and managed by two generations of the D’Alessandro family; CREDAL remains focused on private clients having multi-jurisdictional interests, opportunities and challenges.

     In structuring business management or wealth / IP protection and succession, we pay special attention to long-term value methodologies, that enable us and clients to plan with a peace of mind from a European Union, international and home perspective. Given the complexity of ever-increasing sanctions / AML / FT challenges of international business in today’s fast evolving markets, and the parallel demands of risk-management and reputation, CREDAL maintains its client-oriented international mind-set via an in-house multidisciplinary team of global citizens; each contributing to our attentive modus operandi.

     Building upon more 20 years of experience; our organisation has enhanced its core expertise of management of multi-jurisdictional business transformation, Asset and Investment protection, and cross-jurisdictional compliance. In delivering our hallmark compliance-driven operational value and long-term continuity, we integrate management legal & compliance support, ensuring clients have 360-degree vision and intelligence.

     As all Maltese legislation is published in the island’s official languages; Maltese and English, Malta provides an ideal jurisdiction and proper law for international business contracts, mediation or arbitration. The Island’s highly successful launch in the 1970s of attractive shipping legislation, blending a Civil law culture, UK statute into a practical and advantageous implementation of international maritime conventions, created a blueprint for a world-class Infrastructure for international corporate management.

     Since then, such legal and business versatility has been followed up and further enhanced by high-net-worth individuals and related advisors and managers re-locating here; building new businesses ranging from traditional to cutting edge, be it entrepreneurs growing a business or international groups using Malta for treasury-management, pension fund administration, and captive insurance, or individuals winding down or retiring. Furthermore; 20 years of Maltese and ex-pat innovation in gaming and e-sport have built a unique FINTECH community of lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers and global business-development experts.

     At CREDAL; we offer EU-compliance-driven Business & Personal management solutions, leading in the sectors of Pharma, Fintech and Maritime, founded on UK-modelled corporate, banking and accounting. Thanks to a qualitative range of more than 60 double tax treaties ranging from China to USA, one may secure a very competitive balance of cost/benefit value and latest FATF-approved jurisdiction standards.

     Our hard-earned reputation and established culture of multi-level quality assurance, enables our clients to focus on individual strengths whilst relying on experienced infrastructure as and when required. Clients are typically seeking to consolidate their personal or family wealth platform or upgrade current jurisdictional or operations base with a more personalised; bankable and comprehensive EU business model. Whilst not for all; our low-volume-high-attention focus is tailored to transition low to medium-risk clients to the next level, be it expansion, divestment or planning and managing succession, enabling clients and an individual advisory team to secure appropriate risk and resource management in an increasingly challenging international environment. We thus continue to protect and enhance our clients’ interests via a sense of personal responsibility, based on careful understanding of how current regulation and its trends impact the client, the project and respective governance, legal and tax integrity.

     True to our low-volume-high-attention ethos; as the world around us changes; our core values remain, primary of which is the belief that our clients are not customers – they are individuals we value, who entrust us with matters big and small that we treat with a sense of personal and collegial responsibility.

     This intuitive advisory and support versatility is how we help clients concretize a long-term plan; where operations and project-teams are engineered as ‘fit for current purpose and evolution’; corresponding to market direction, shareholder objectives, International Accounting Standards, Malta Business Registry and Prevention of Money Laundering guidelines, custom technology and on-point EU governance.
