Dispute Resolution
& Litigation
For those facing, pursuing, or seeking to avoid a dispute.
Capability 04
Litigation is, in most cases, a last resort – expensive, time-consuming, and unpredictable. A good dispute resolution lawyer understands this and works to resolve matters at the earliest possible stage, through negotiation, mediation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution, without sacrificing the client's position if proceedings ultimately become necessary.
Where proceedings cannot be avoided, we represent clients in the Cyprus courts with the same directness and commitment we bring to advisory work. Cyprus is a common law jurisdiction, and its courts apply principles that will be familiar to those with experience of English litigation.
Our approach to every contentious matter begins with an honest assessment: the merits of the claim or defence, the realistic prospects of success, the likely costs and timescales, and whether a negotiated resolution might achieve a better commercial outcome than proceedings. Clients deserve that assessment before committing to litigation, not after.
Areas of Practice
We represent businesses and individuals in civil and commercial proceedings before the Cyprus courts – from the District Courts to the Supreme Court on appeal.
Disputes arising from contracts – whether over performance, payment, interpretation, or termination – form the bulk of commercial litigation.
Property disputes in Cyprus can be complex – involving issues of title, boundary, development rights, and contractual obligations between developers, purchasers, and third parties.
Recovering unpaid debts requires a combination of speed, precision, and proportionality. We act for creditors pursuing outstanding sums through both court proceedings and pre-litigation mechanisms.
Where assets are at risk of dissipation or urgent protection is required, interim injunctive relief can be critical. Cyprus courts have jurisdiction to grant a range of interim remedies.
A judgment is only as valuable as the ability to enforce it. We advise on enforcement of Cyprus judgments and on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
Where parties are willing to explore settlement, mediation and ADR can offer a faster, cheaper, and more commercially sensible route to resolution.
Some of the most valuable work in dispute resolution happens before proceedings are issued – identifying and preserving rights, managing correspondence, and creating the conditions for resolution.
