EXPERTS

By John Vickers | Photography by Jo Michaelides

A

career in the legal profession has always been
intellectually challenging,
often personally fulfilling
and, for some, financially
rewarding too. And while
few lawyers in Cyprus
would claim to lead the glamorous, exciting
lives that their fictional counterparts do on
TV and in the cinema, they would probably
not regret their choice of career. There are
around 2,000 practising lawyers in Cyprus,
many of whom now focus their professional
attention on very specific and specialised areas

of the law. Legal professionals who seek a
career in litigation can specialize in criminal
law, employment law, family law or dozens of
other practice areas. Those who prefer a career
in corporate law can specialise in taxation,
mergers and acquisitions, real estate, banking
and finance or some other corporate practice
area that satisfies their interests. In Cyprus, the
professional services sector gives many lawyers
the opportunity to provide highly-specialised
services to international as well as local clients.
On the following pages we present 140
individuals (listed alphabetically) who have
been recognised for their particular expertise.
