PRACTICE AREAS

CRIMINAL LAW

From police interrogations to criminal appeals

Given our specialisation in the field of the criminal law, we are in a unique position to offer expert legal advice.

From the moment one is aware that they are a suspect, they have the right of access to a lawyer. This is vital, as very often, arrest warrants themselves can be set aside via special procedures. 

The same right of access to a lawyer, applies of course during police investigations and throughout any criminal procedure before courts of all levels. 

We have handled thousands of cases before the District Courts of Cyprus, the Assize Courts, the Supreme Court and also the Sovereign Base Area (SBA) Courts in Dhekelia and Episkopi. 

EXTRADITION &
EU ARREST WARRANTS

Hand in hand with the criminal law, are extradition cases, where one is wanted in another State and requests that person through the Cypriot authorities. We have successfully handled hundreds of cases involving extradition requests from countries like the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian Republic and many more.

Likewise, we have handled many European Arrest Warrant proceedings, where we have also successfully dealt with many cases, despite the limited scope of such procedures in Cyprus.

Our expertise in this area is of vital importance as these cases are usually decided on fine points of law, which require substantial experience.

From arrest to appeal before the Supreme Court

ECHR APPLICATIONS

Drafting of applications to the European Court of Human Rights

The European Court of Human Rights stands as one of the most important legal institutions in the world. Where one's human rights have been violated at national court level, we are ready to handle, draft and support their application to the Court, in an attempt to put things right. 

We have drafted and supported many such applications in our history and can thus offer expert legal advice in this complicated area of law, where any tiny omission in the application can lead to the case being dismissed.

FAMILY LAW

Alimony, Civil Unions & More

Unfortunately, there are fine lines between the Family Law and the Criminal Law. Not paying alimony, for example, can lead to one being imprisoned. To that end, via cooperating with our esteemed associates, we are able to offer extensive services in this area of law.

Additionally, given our expertise in human rights law, the right to a family life will be well protected by our firm, especially in novel areas of law such as Civil Unions and the right of spouses to reside in Cyprus with their family members.
