The Firm

Papadopoulos, Lycourgos & Co LLC is a Cyprus business law firm based in Nicosia. For more than 25 years, we have advised international corporations, financial institutions, investors and private clients on their most consequential legal matters in Cyprus and across borders.

Our practice spans the full spectrum of business law, from corporate and commercial transactions, real estate and banking to dispute resolution, regulatory compliance and tax. Every matter is supervised by a founding partner, combining strategic oversight with hands-on execution.

History

The firm was founded in 1999, uniting the practices of Dimitris Papadopoulos & Associates and C&D Lycourgos, whose partners had previously gained extensive experience in leading Cypriot and international law firms.

Since then, the firm has grown alongside its clients, developing particular strength in cross-border corporate work, real estate and development projects, banking and finance, and commercial disputes, while remaining deliberately mid-sized: large enough for complex mandates, small enough for partners to lead every file.

How We Work

International reach. We act for Cypriot and foreign clients in both established and emerging markets. Our multilingual team works comfortably across legal cultures and coordinates regularly with international counsel, tax advisers and financial institutions.

Transparency. We operate transparent hourly billing at competitive rates, with clients given clear visibility of work performed and costs incurred. There are no hidden costs and no surprises.

Partner-led service. Every mandate is supervised by a founding partner in cooperation with our associates, ensuring accountability, responsiveness and commercially grounded advice at every stage.

Our team combines one of the youngest age profiles among Cyprus business law firms with senior partner experience, working in a collaborative, non-hierarchical structure that pools knowledge across practice areas for the benefit of each client.

Recognition

The firm is ranked by The Legal 500 EMEA, which has described our corporate team as adept in high-value cross-border transactions. In its 2024 edition, The Legal 500 also recognised the firm as a Leading Firm in Client Satisfaction, a distinction awarded to only a small number of Cyprus firms and a reflection of the standard of service we hold ourselves to.
