Bio
Daniela was awarded her warrant to practice as an Advocate before the Courts of Malta in 2015. She completed the law course at the University of Malta in 2014, summa cum laudae and today practises as a Court litigation lawyer in private practice. 
 
Daniela has a deep interest in family law and child law. Her doctoral thesis, entitled “Mandatory Reporting: What are the implications of making reporting child abuse mandatory?” received the Professor Attard award for best thesis in 2014 and has been incisively reported in the media. Daniela provides training on the law relating to foster care in Malta and has adapted the law to a child-friendly version.

Although Daniela is passionate about family law and child law, she has great interest in expanding her field of work and knowledge. Moreover, she acted as Secretary to the Drafting Team of the Child Protection (Out-of-Home) Care Bill which was presented to Parliament by the then Hon. Minister Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.  
 
Daniela is also a co-founder and an executive team member of the recently set up NGO "Gender Liberation" which advocates for and supports people within the trans* gender variant and intersex continuum and their relatives.
