For nearly half a century, we have established ourselves as a leading authority in corporate law, with particular prominence in mergers and acquisitions. Our reputation has been built on teamwork, innovation, extensive experience, and a relentless commitment to excellence. Over the decades, we have successfully represented hundreds of clients in corporate transactions across a wide range of industries, many involving complex multijurisdictional elements.

Our practice encompasses all facets of mergers and acquisitions, supported by ancillary expertise in competition law, regulatory compliance, and related matters. We provide comprehensive guidance on the Cyprus Companies Act, corporate reorganisations, restructurings, corporate finance, and security and escrow arrangements. Our team also excels in areas such as corporate governance, shareholders’ agreements, private and public equity and debt offerings, due diligence, transactional risk assessment, and liquidations.

Our client portfolio includes some of the world’s largest companies, financial institutions, organisations, and investors. At the same time, we remain deeply committed to supporting smaller businesses and entities, tailoring our approach to meet their specific needs. Whether advising on large-scale international deals or smaller, local transactions, we bring the same level of diligence, creativity, and precision to every engagement.
