CLA Malta

CLA Malta is a Maltese consulting organisation that offers legal support for financial services licensing, iGaming licensing and crypto-asset service provider authorisation under MiCA. Its offices are in Msida, at The Core on Valley Road.

Licensing services

Three lines are listed: financial services licensing, MiCA and VASP licensing, and iGaming licensing. The same team therefore covers a payment or e-money project, a crypto business entering the European regime, and a gaming operator seeking a licence, which can be convenient for groups that combine these activities.

Geography

The firm works in Malta and the wider European Union, which fits the passporting logic of MiCA authorisations. The company also places itself in the accounting and audit and compliance outsourcing sections, but the specific deliverables in those areas are not detailed.

Contact route

A contact form is published for first enquiries, and two office addresses in Msida are listed. Scope, fees and timelines are not stated and should be clarified directly with the firm.

Who it suits

Start-ups and established fintechs choosing between Maltese licensing routes will find the combined practice useful.
