Other Activities


Our extensive experience in Corporate, Commercial, Contract Law associated with a solid litigation department may convince the same client to return back to us for a different case. The office carries smoothly and we are highly motivated.

We can also help you in Criminal Law, Labour Law, acquisition of immovable property in Cyprus, England and Germany and matters relating to Immigration Law. Cyprus has proved to be a very popular place for retirement and/or for the acquisition of holiday houses by foreigners, especially European citizens. Property in Cyprus is considered to be a sound investment with a good return, a value for money and the most important thing for the purchaser’s protection is that once the sales agreement has been signed and a deposit paid, the Land Registry in Cyprus provides a simple and effective legal instrument called the specific performance. So once the sales agreement is deposited within two months, nobody else can take priority and the contract in the hands of the Land Registry cannot be withdrawn by anyone and this status can only be altered by the purchaser himself. Furthermore the inheritance tax has been abolished and the following allowances are available to individuals:

  1. The first CYP 10.000 of gains arising from the disposal of any property.
  2. Tthe first CYP 50.000 of gains arising from the disposal of a house used by the owner of his/her own habitation. But to claim a combination of the above, one is only allowed a maximum allowance of CYP50.000.

We can also assist you with the visa and work permit. If you come from Europe then there is no difficulty and if you come from a Non- EU country it depends on the case. Each case will have to be judged separately. Obviously for non-european citizens an appropriate bank reference can be necessary together with a statistical declaration and if it’s going to be an investment for a serious project then it is highly likely that the Director of the company may obtain visa and the registration may not be a difficult task.

It is important to note that the laws and practice of Cyprus are amended to comply with the EU Laws and Directives and the code of conduct.

We can also translate legal documents from French to English, English to French, Greek to English and vice-versa.

  • Telephone answering and message forwarding,
  • Mail forwarding services including e-mail,
  • Receiving and Sending faxes,
  • Keeping in a safe place your bank statements.

We can ensure that we will meet your needs and requirements. It is standard practice to respect customers and to ensure that their business transactions are maintained in a discreet and private manner. We can also provide legal research on any of our clients requirements, including advise on tax matters.
