About

Provided by Scordis, Papapetrou & Co LLC

The team is distinguished in providing assistance to clients in large, high-profile transactions as well as local and international dispute resolution cases. With more than 30 years’ experience handling large international commercial and corporate transactions, local and international litigation and arbitrations, the firm has established a unique reputation and expertise. It is one of the few firms in Cyprus that is both directly instructed by international clients and is a first choice as a local referral practice for Tier 1 (and other) international firms. The firm's corporate and commercial practice and its dispute resolution teams consist of numerous experienced partners and associates. Each team is further assisted by professionals from other disciplines, including chartered accountants, tax and regulated investment advisors. This balance of experience, breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm provides the firm with an edge - partner involvement in every transaction or litigation/arbitration case is high, which enables it to deliver an exceptional (and unique) level of client service.
