Hassans
was founded in 1939 and is the largest law firm in
Gibraltar and consistently ranked top tier in the
Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 directories. The
firm has an international clientele, which it continues
to develop and has links with major London, continental
and US law firms.
Three
quarters of the firm’s work is related to international
clients. Many of them use Gibraltar companies and
trusts to structure their fiscal, fiduciary or investment
requirements, and over the years, strong links have
been forged with major multinationals, financial institutions,
banks, law and accountancy firms worldwide.
Gibraltar’s
status as part of the EU is a significant factor in
attracting such institutions and businesses. The firm’s
international clients come, above all, from the US,
the UK, Israel and Europe (in particular Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal).
Our
first task has always been to listen, an old-fashioned
form of service that we apply to everyone from private
individuals to multinationals. Then, armed with a
detailed understanding of your specific needs, we
apply world-class expertise to meet those needs swiftly
and precisely.
When
you work with Hassans, you work with one of the world’s
leading independent law firms. This, combined with
Gibraltar’s efficient tax regime and the stability
and market access afforded by EU membership, make
us the perfect partner for your business.
James
Levy QC, is senior partner at Hassans and advises
large public companies on mergers and acquisitions
and property companies on acquisitions throughout
Europe. He assisted the Government of Gibraltar
on its development of the jurisdiction as a
finance centre. This has included advice on

services and trust legislation. James has also
progressed the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution
in Gibraltar.
He recently appeared for the TGWU in a successful
challenge against the Ministry of Defence in
respect of the Crown Proceedings Ordinance.
James was a contributing author to Tolley’s
‘Tax Planning International’, joint
editor of Tolley’s ‘Taxation in
Gibraltar’ and a frequent lecturer on
the various aspects of financial services legislation.
An Honours graduate from Manchester University,
James attended the Council of Legal Education
in London and qualified in 1972, becoming a
partner of Hassans soon after in 1974. He was
appointed Queen's Counsel in October 2002
He is the only lawyer in Gibraltar to have been
rated "Star performer" by Chambers
& Partners and Legal 500 for three years
in a row. In May 2008 he received the highly
prestigious "Life time achievement award"
from Chambers and Partners.
