Dispute Resolution · Malta
Dr Matthew Paris is an advocate and Founding Partner of DalliParis Advocates, a boutique law firm in Malta. Renowned for his expertise in public procurement and corporate law, Dr Paris has successfully represented clients in domestic public procurement disputes, as well as other complex disputes involving an international dimension.
Dr Paris has played a pivotal role in assisting both contracting authorities and economic operators throughout every phase of the procurement cycle, while, in the process, accumulating fundamental expertise within procurement. One of his most recent involvements relates to the widely reported and especially onerous public procurement procedure in Malta, dealing with Waste-to-Energy, whereby the Court of Appeal annulled the adjudication process following successful pleadings before it. This landmark judgement, decided on the 20th of June 2024, reaffirmed his ability to navigate through the complexities of public procurement.
Over the past decade, he has been involved in disputes amounting to more than EUR 1 billion, including high-profile construction procurement disputes, medical supplies procurement disputes, as well as concession contract disputes. His legal acumen in these matters has solidified his reputation as a leading lawyer in his jurisdiction.
In addition, Dr Paris contributes through pro bono work within key areas. The most significant example led to a European Court of Human Rights decision on the 5th of May, 2022, whereby it upheld the claims raised by the legal team managed by Dr Paris, resulting in a blanket overhaul of in vitro fertilisation legislation in Malta.
Dr Paris’s expertise extends beyond the courtroom. He is the incumbent Senior Vice President of the Malta Football Association, having served in this position since 2017. In this role, he has contributed significantly to the governance and regulatory reforms in Maltese football. Admitted to the Maltese Bar in 2014, Dr Paris continues to be a formidable advocate and legal strategist, dedicated to advancing the interests of his clients with unwavering commitment and exceptional legal insight.
