Our History
In 2019, following his time in public service, Yakof Agius began receiving frequent requests from both clients, and professionals in the residence and citizenship by investment field, seeking guidance on complex applications. By 2020, these engagements had paved the way for more strategic engagements.
In late 2022, Yakof was introduced to Dr Francis Zammit Dimech. A former Minister for Foreign Affairs and Chair of Malta’s Joint Committee on Human Rights and Equality, Francis brought decades of experience in international law, commercial transactions, and governance. From their first meeting, it was evident that their working philosophies were aligned: careful, purposeful, and principled.
Through their years of combined operational and institutional experience – and a deliberate commitment to selectivity, that ensured direct partner involvement – they founded Yakof Agius & Associates, guided by the belief that excellence is not an aspiration, but a standard to be upheld at every level.
Today, Yakof Agius & Associates embodies the values upon which it was founded, through practice, not posture — Yakof’s vision, and Francis’s legacy, continue to shape how the firm thinks, works, and advises.
Expertise. Exclusivity. Excellence.
They’re not just words. They are our Promise.
