Tonio Fenech, a leading figure in Malta’s legal and corporate sectors, has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director at AX Group, further expanding his influence in the business community.

Dr Fenech is the co-founder of Fenech Farrugia Fiott Legal (FFF Legal), a prominent Maltese law firm specialising in corporate, commercial and finance law. With over three decades of experience, Dr Fenech is recognised for his expertise in corporate governance, fiduciary obligations, trusts and asset finance.

He holds a Doctorate in Maltese Law from the University of Malta and a Master’s Degree in Maritime and Aviation Law from the University of London (UCL).

Dr Fenech was previously the founding CEO of the Fenlex Group, a trust and corporate services group in Malta.

In 2008, Dr Fenech left his family firm to establish FFF Legal, where he focused on building an open-architecture legal practice that integrates multi-disciplinary professional services. He also served as the founding Chairman of the ARQ Group, which combines expertise in legal, accounting, trust, and advisory services.

Recently, Dr Fenech transitioned from his role as Joint Managing Partner at FFF Legal to Senior Consultant, continuing to advise clients in his areas of specialisation while stepping back from day-to-day management. His ongoing consultancy ensures that his vast knowledge continues to benefit both the firm and its clients.

Beyond his legal career, Dr. Fenech serves as the Honorary Consul of Lebanon to Malta and frequently contributes to academic and professional forums on topics such as trusts, fiduciary law, and asset finance. He also teaches related subjects at the University of Malta.
