A.G Erotocritou LLC

People across the firm strongly believe in fulfilling the obligation to assist through pro bono work. Pro bono work strengthens our lawyers’ abilities to apply their talents in representing individuals and organizations of limited means in a variety of matters.

In addition to handling high-profile cases, such as the massively publicised EOKA case (an action on behalf of former EOKA fighters in a claim against the British Government for torture and other violations of the European Convention of Human Rights which has taken place in Cyprus during 1955-1959), we also represent disadvantaged individuals. Our work covers the full range of our lawyers' skills, including transactional work, representation in Court and general consultation.

Notable Pro Bono Clients

EOKA Case

Our firm, in collaboration with K.J. Conroy & Co Solicitors and other local law firms, has acted on behalf of former EOKA fighters in a claim against the British Government for torture and other violations of the European Convention of Human Rights which has taken place in Cyprus during 1955-1959. The move was encouraged by the High Court decision in 2011 to allow three Kenyans - who also accused the colonial government of torture - to sue Britain over human rights abuse perpetrated during the Mau-Mau uprising. The case was eventually settled in 2012 with the three Kenyans receiving payouts from the British government. The case is one of most high profile Cypriot cases which have been publicized in BBC, Al Jazeera, other foreign newspapers and TV channels as well as on a plethora of media in Cyprus.
