Banking
Our banking practice helps our clients to navigate the sector’s complex legal framework, advising them on how to adapt to ever-changing economic, political and regulatory conditions. We have intimate knowledge and experience of the Cyprus banking sector and a wide variety of economic activity, providing services across the full spectrum of banking and financial matters.
Our team is a balanced mix of lawyers with contentious experience and lawyers who specialise in non-contentious work. Through extensive collaboration with the Property, Corporate, Commercial and Regulatory departments, the team’s expertise covers retail and corporate banking activity, large scale and detailed NPL portfolio due diligence, and general transactional, contentious, and non-contentious matters, ranging from debt recovery and day-to-day banking issues to bank resolution and debtor restructuring, as well as the provision of legal opinions to in-house redocumentation projects.
The team provides ongoing legal support to international banks, the majority of Cyprus’s banks, including two systemically important banks, and a significant number of credit acquiring companies licensed by the Central Bank of Cyprus, as well as individual and corporate clients.
