Our Story

Polycarpos Philippou with his children Eleni and Gregoris — three generations leading the firm

In 1984, Polycarpos Philippou opened a small law office in Paphos with a simple belief: that every client — whether a local family or an international business — deserves honest, accessible legal advice. That belief turned into a practice, and the practice grew into one of Cyprus's most trusted full-service law firms.

As the firm matured, so did the family behind it. Polycarpos's children, Eleni and Gregoris, joined the practice — bringing fresh perspectives, international training, and a drive to modernise. Together, the three generations built a firm that honours its roots while embracing new approaches: from corporate structuring and immigration advisory to fintech regulation and digital asset compliance.

Four decades on, the mission has not changed — only expanded. Our team of experienced lawyers now serves clients from over 50 countries, and many of our earliest clients are still with us. That kind of trust is not inherited. It is earned, one case at a time.
