Mr Galia is an accomplished legal professional with extensive expertise in corporate, banking, financial services, and insurance law, brings a wealth of experience to the team as GFIA continues to drive forward Gibraltar’s reputation as a leading financial services jurisdiction, said a statement from GFIA.
