Dispute Resolution & Litigation

At PLCo, we represent clients in complex civil, commercial and corporate disputes before all levels of the Cyprus courts. Our litigation team combines strategic analysis with procedural precision, delivering decisive representation in high-stakes matters.

We act for corporations, financial institutions, investors and private individuals in both domestic and cross-border disputes. Whether enforcing contractual rights, resolving shareholder conflicts or pursuing fraud claims, our objective remains clear: to protect our clients’ interests efficiently and effectively.

Commercial & Corporate Litigation

Business disputes often involve significant financial and reputational exposure. PLCo regularly advises and represents clients in matters concerning:

  • Shareholder and partnership disputes

  • Breach of contract claims

  • Directors’ liability and corporate governance conflicts

  • Fraud and misrepresentation

  • Debt recovery and enforcement

  • Professional negligence

Where disputes arise within corporate structures, we work closely with our Corporate & Commercial team to ensure that litigation strategy aligns with broader commercial objectives.

Interim Relief & Urgent Measures

In many cases, swift action is essential. PLCo has extensive experience in obtaining and defending:

  • Freezing orders (Mareva injunctions)

  • Interim injunctions

  • Disclosure and tracing orders

  • Asset preservation measures

We act decisively to safeguard assets, preserve evidence and secure strategic advantage where urgency demands immediate intervention.

Cross-Border Disputes

Given Cyprus’ role in international corporate and investment structures, disputes frequently involve foreign parties and multi-jurisdictional elements. We regularly coordinate with overseas counsel and manage complex cross-border litigation strategies with precision and discretion.

Recognition & Enforcement of Foreign Judgments

PLCo advises on the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments and arbitral awards in Cyprus. This includes:

  • EU judgments under applicable European regulations

  • Non-EU judgments under bilateral treaties and common law principles

  • Enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention

Our approach ensures that foreign decisions are effectively converted into enforceable remedies within the Cyprus legal framework.

A Strategic, Partner-Led Approach

Litigation requires more than procedural knowledge — it demands judgment and strategic foresight. Every matter at PLCo is supervised by a senior partner, ensuring consistency, accountability and clarity from commencement through resolution.

We approach disputes with a clear focus on practical outcomes, balancing assertive representation with commercially sound decision-making.

The Legal 500 describe our litigation department’s highlights as including “assisting one of the largest banks in France with interlocutory and freezing orders, and handling a major anti-money-laundering action against a Ukrainian bank. The firm also has a strong presence in family law and banking matters.” — Legal 500 EMEA
