Areas of Practice / About the Firm
Real matters, without the names. What the firm has been doing, at the level of detail that protects the people in it.
Selected matters from the practice, with client identities protected. Each entry explains our involvement and whether the matter has concluded or is continuing.
Construction
Our involvement
Across public and private projects: building contracts and subcontracts, arbitrations, one of them against an international contractor, subcontractor and supplier disputes, insurance claims, planning matters and the regulatory questions that follow a large site.
Ongoing
Personal injury
Our involvement
Instructed after the injury, we set out the claim in a letter before action, supported by the evidence gathered in the first weeks, and pressed it to a conclusion. Compensation was recovered without the client ever having to sit through a trial.
Concluded
Financial services
Our involvement
A pension transferred and invested on advice that did not survive scrutiny. We took the complaint to the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, set out the claim in letters before action to the firm and the adviser, and issued civil proceedings, which are running now.
In progress
Trusts and corporate
Our involvement
The outgoing trustee's resignation, the appointment documents, a restated settlement, the corporate certificates behind each entity, and registration of the change on the Cyprus Trust Beneficial Ownership Register.
Concluded
Private clients abroad
Our involvement
A steady strand of the practice is people outside Cyprus with property here or property they want: purchases run by power of attorney, due diligence before signature, contracts deposited in time, wills that cover the Cyprus assets. The route we use is published on buying from abroad.
Ongoing
Debt recovery
Our involvement
Businesses owed money on invoices that stopped being answered. The claim goes out with statutory interest computed year by year from the day the debt fell due, first in a letter of demand and, where it is not paid, in the action and its enforcement. Some of these end at the letter; the file is prepared as though none of them will.
Ongoing
Employment
Our involvement
Employers who need a termination done properly from the start, and employees on the receiving end of one. The work is the notice, the grounds, the calculation and the letter, and where the matter does not end there, the claim that follows.
Ongoing
Corporate compliance
Our involvement
Ultimate beneficial ownership questionnaires, due diligence packs across a group of companies, allotments of shares and the instruments behind them. Unglamorous work, and the reason a transaction completes on the day it was meant to rather than three weeks later.
Ongoing
Residence
Our involvement
Documents due to expire and an entitlement about to lapse with them. An affidavit sworn at the District Court first thing and filed at the migration office the same morning, and the eligibility preserved.
Concluded
