Our Commercial Department covers a number of areas of commercial and corporate issues dealing with all aspects of corporate life, ranging from general corporate issues (the setting up and legal management of companies, corporate governance, restructuring of a company’s share capital, setting up and organisation of branches, companies or subsidiaries in Cyprus, shareholders’ and voting agreements, share option plans and other employee incentive plans, etc.) to a wide variety of other transactions from start-up through the corporate life of a company, including business recovery and companies’ reorganisation in difficult times. We also assist our clients in relation to succession issues, exit strategies, reorganisations and refinancing as well as mergers and acquisitions.
We have developed extensive expertise in the drafting and negotiation of all sorts of commercial contracts (joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, loan agreements, distribution agreements, licence agreements, outsourcing agreements, new technologies) in numerous industries and business sectors (banking, telecom services, sports, financial services, employment services, media, retail, hotels).

Understanding your business is our business
Whilst some specialisation is necessary in response to market needs and demands, our lawyers retain as broad an expertise as possible, ensuring a better and fuller understanding of our clients’ needs and projects which serves as a solid basis for a fully flexible and adaptable service.
The hallmark of our Commercial Department is the shared commitment of our lawyers and clients to find the best possible legal solution to any challenge confronting business today.
We don’t use a sledgehammer to pound in a nail
As we learn about each client’s business and its objectives, we anticipate issues. We craft practical strategies and blend legal insight with business judgment to determine appropriate solutions to our clients’ needs. We do what is necessary. Clients get straightforward advice from knowledgeable people. We forge common sense answers to real legal problems.
We know our role
Clients are different. Some need their lawyers to guide; others want their lawyers to lead. Some clients have little familiarity with legal issues; others have general counsel or in-house legal staff who need an answer to a specific question. Whatever the need, we listen, adapt and respond in a manner that works for our clients.
Our goal with each client is to exceed their expectations.
Our clients need to be responsive in their own marketplaces; they have their own set of demands that must be met. Our Commercial Department adheres to the same set of rules. Whether it’s reviewing a contract prepared by a customer or negotiating a letter of intent to sell a business, our clients insist on fast, efficient turn around of quality service. That’s exactly what we deliver.
