Albert Mena CBE

Albert returned to Hassans in 2022 having been seconded to  HM Government of Gibraltar as Financial Secretary in 2014 and was appointed a Commander of the British Empire in the 2023 King’s Birthday Honour List.

Albert specialises in advising on tax and transaction structuring, both locally and internationally, and recently advised on the successful flotation of a Gibraltar company on the London Stock Exchange.

After graduating from Heriot-Watt University, Albert joined a ‘Big Four’ accounting practise in the UK and qualified as a chartered accountant in 1992. He subsequently joined KPMG in Gibraltar, where he became a Partner in 1998.

In 2002, Albert, together with Chris White, was a leading part of the team instructed by the Government of Gibraltar to draft a completely new tax system.

In 2004, Albert joined Hassans as the first member of the partnership team with a non-legal background. He retrained as a lawyer and in 2007 attended the Inns of Court School of Law in London where he qualified as a Barrister. His dual qualification as a Chartered Accountant and Barrister brought an added dimension to tax and transaction structuring, both in the local and international field.
