Dispute
Resolution
Services
We provide strategic and discreet representation across all stages of dispute resolution — from negotiation and mediation to complex court proceedings. Our team handles commercial, corporate, and civil disputes with precision and efficiency, always aiming to protect our clients’ interests while minimising risk and disruption.
Dispute Resolution Services
In today’s global business environment, disputes often span multiple jurisdictions, making it essential to have legal advisors who can operate effectively both locally and internationally. Our dispute resolution practice combines the personalized attention of a boutique firm with the capabilities of a top-tier international practice. We act in some of the most complex and high-value commercial disputes with a Cyprus nexus, and our team is frequently called upon to collaborate with leading international law firms on multi-jurisdictional cases.
Throughout every matter, we maintain strict confidentiality and a focus on pragmatic solutions, protecting our clients’ interests.
Interim Relief & Cross-Border Enforcement
We have deep expertise in obtaining urgent relief from the Cyprus courts to safeguard client interests.
Our lawyers regularly secure interim measures such as freezing injunctions, Norwich Pharmacal orders (disclosure orders), ex parte receiverships, and other protective remedies.
These tools can be deployed rapidly in support of proceedings in Cyprus or abroad, making Cyprus a strategic forum for international dispute resolution.
We also have a strong track record in the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards, frequently handling enforcement actions and asset freezes in aid of overseas litigation or arbitration.
This fluency with Cypriot interim relief procedures and cross-border enforcement is a critical advantage for our multinational clients and foreign counsel partners.
Commercial Litigation
Our litigation team represents clients across all levels of the Cypriot court system – from first-instance District Courts to the Supreme Court – as well as in specialized tribunals and regulatory bodies.
We prepare meticulously for every case and proceed with a clear, business-minded strategy aimed at timely, effective resolution.
Our advocacy extends to matters involving parallel proceedings in other jurisdictions, and we are adept at coordinating with counsel overseas on strategy and evidence when required.
We regularly advise and act in cases involving shareholder and director disputes, joint venture and post-M&A disagreements, breaches of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, and trust-related disputes such as claims for breach of trust, beneficiary rights, trustee removal, and asset tracing within trust structures, as well as banking and finance litigation, including loan enforcement, guarantee disputes, and related insolvency or receivership proceedings.
Arbitration, Litigation & Dispute Resolution Excellence
01.
Arbitration & ADR
We regularly advise clients on arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, recognising that for many cross-border commercial disputes, arbitration offers a neutral, efficient, and enforceable forum.
Our work includes drafting clear and enforceable arbitration clauses, advising on the choice of seat and institutional rules, and representing clients through every stage of the arbitral process, from preliminary objections to evidentiary hearings and final award.
02.
Court Applications & Enforcement
In parallel, we frequently act in court applications connected with arbitration.
This includes seeking interim relief in aid of ongoing arbitral proceedings, compelling arbitration where agreements so provide, and handling challenges to or enforcement of arbitral awards in the Cypriot courts.
Our firm has particular experience with the recognition and execution of foreign arbitral awards in Cyprus, ensuring that awards obtained abroad are converted into judgments capable of local enforcement.
03.
Public, Administrative & Regulatory Disputes
Our dispute resolution expertise extends across a broad array of sectors.
We regularly handle public and administrative law litigation, including judicial review proceedings and challenges against regulatory bodies or government decisions.
We are experienced in construction and infrastructure claims, ranging from contractor disputes and delay claims to real estate development conflicts.
These often complex cases benefit from our familiarity with technical evidence and our ability to work closely with engineers and other experts. We also act in disputes in the energy and utilities sector, including matters arising from large-scale projects and public tenders.
04.
Insolvency, Restructuring & Commercial Litigation
In the area of insolvency and restructuring, we frequently act for creditors, debtors, and insolvency practitioners in court proceedings.
Our lawyers navigate bankruptcy filings, winding-up petitions, and receivership appointments with a focus on protecting clients’ economic interests.
We have advised on high-stakes liquidation cases and represented stakeholders in significant insolvency disputes.
Our practice also extends to competition law (antitrust), employment matters, intellectual property enforcement, and insurance claims.
Private & Cross-Border Disputes
In addition, we represent clients in matrimonial disputes, particularly those involving the division of property and cross-border elements, always with discretion and sensitivity.
Every case – whether a bet-the-company commercial litigation or a sensitive private dispute – is managed with the same level of dedication, discretion, and strategic foresight.
Our goal is to deliver focused and effective representation in every forum, advancing our clients’ objectives while minimizing disruption to their business and reputation.
International clients, multinationals, and foreign counsel continue to choose our firm for dispute resolution in Cyprus because of our proven ability to combine local legal mastery with an unwavering commercial sensibility.
We stand ready to assist with any dispute, providing thoughtful counsel and vigorous advocacy to achieve favorable, enforceable outcomes.
