More Accolades

for Harneys Cyprus

H

arneys Cyprus has
ended its strongest
year ever with more
accolades, with three
partners recommended
in the Best Lawyers
International guide. Harneys, which
trades as Aristodemou Loizides Yiolitis in
Cyprus, achieved its highest ever rankings
this year in the legal directories Chambers,
Legal 500 and IFLR1000. The firm has
thrived in what was a turbulent year for
the Cyprus economy, launching its Cyprus
Banking Group in April to assist clients
through the crisis. Harneys Cyprus increased its team of lawyers by nearly 30 per
cent in 2013 as it expanded its litigation
and investment funds practices.
“As the only multi-jurisdictional firm
operating in Cyprus, we were
able to react immediately
to guide clients through
the Cyprus banking
crisis,” says Cyprus
managing partner
Emily Yiolitis.
“Through what has
been a busy and
important year for
Cyprus, we have
advised clients on
issues related to
