EU Law Expertise

As an EU member state, Cyprus law intersects with European regulations. Our team stays current with both domestic and EU legal developments to protect your interests.

The Cyprus Legal System

Cyprus has a common law legal system, inherited from the British colonial period, which makes it particularly accessible for English-speaking individuals and businesses. The legal framework is closely aligned with English common law principles, offering familiarity and predictability for international clients.

As a member of the European Union since 2004, Cyprus has also adopted EU directives and regulations across key areas including corporate governance, data protection, immigration, and financial services. This dual foundation — common law tradition combined with EU regulatory standards — makes Cyprus an attractive jurisdiction for cross-border business, investment, and relocation.

At Philippou Law Firm, our lawyers have extensive experience navigating both the Cypriot common law system and the broader EU legal framework. Whether you are forming a company, purchasing property, applying for residency, or resolving a dispute, we provide the expert legal guidance you need.

We serve both local and international clients.

Do your lawyers in Cyprus speak English?+

Yes. Our legal team is fully multilingual — we provide legal services in English, Greek, Russian, and Arabic. The majority of our international clients communicate with us entirely in English. Cyprus's common law system, inherited from Britain, also means that much of the legal framework itself is available in English.

For matters like company incorporation, tax planning, and immigration applications, most of the process can be handled without you needing to visit Cyprus in person.

Why should I choose a Cyprus-based lawyer over an international firm?+

A Cyprus-based law firm offers direct knowledge of local regulations, court procedures, and government authorities. We have established relationships with the Registrar of Companies, the Migration Department, the Land Registry, and other key institutions. This local expertise translates to faster processing and better outcomes for our clients.

What is the legal system in Cyprus?+

Cyprus operates under a common law legal system inherited from the British colonial period, supplemented by EU law since joining the European Union in 2004. This makes the Cypriot legal system particularly familiar and accessible for clients from the UK, Ireland, and other common law jurisdictions. Courts operate in both Greek and English.
