Team Services

Our dispute resolution team is experienced in identifying and implementing the most appropriate solutions for our clients, either by pursuing or defending litigation or other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, like arbitration and mediation.

Our lawyers have extensive experience before the Cyprus Courts and various international arbitration courts and tribunals, and deal with highly complex cases in areas including business, commercial and corporate law, tax and finance, intellectual property, professional liability, antitrust, banking and finance, family law, administrative and criminal law.

Our firm regularly and effectively handles international multi-million USD/EUR cases, including shareholder disputes, corporate and commercial fraud, and boasts an exceptionally strong commercial and corporate litigation practice. The latter includes a wide range of commercial litigation matters, focusing on both international and domestic corporate disputes, fraud and conspiracy claims, enforcement of foreign judgments / arbitration awards applications, winding-up applications, breach of contract, product liability, unlawful termination of franchise, licensing and distribution agreements and complex cases involving entities under liquidation or administration.

Our team also advises and represents clients in freezing and disclosure injunctions in the context of management and corporate control disputes, fraudulent alienation of assets, derivative shareholders’ claims and breach of fiduciary duties claims.

The practice also handles a significant number of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution matters, and it is noteworthy that our firm is a member of the CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution), the largest and most dynamic Alternative Dispute Resolution organisation in Europe.

We are committed to providing value through timely and cutting- edge advice that is also commercially viable. We strive to gain a thorough understanding of our clients’ needs, developing lasting relationships and assisting them in managing their risk, and hopefully avoiding disputes altogether. Our longstanding collaborations with numerous multinational companies from varying industries and excellent reputation and success rate in the outcome of dispute resolution matters, stand testimony to our leading expertise in this area of legal practice.
