Practice Area Overview

Mamo TCV has built a reputation for being Malta’s specialist firm in the TMT sector. Our trained lawyers know the laws, the business and the industry. We pride ourselves on offering legally sound yet practical advice.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a living, breathing law that regulates technologies that in some way involve the processing of personal data of natural persons.
