The firm particularly prides itself on its expertise in the following areas:

o Structured finance, capital markets, securitisations – they are instructed on a day by day basis by major banks and financing institutions to advice on a broad range of structured finance and capital market transactions.
o M&A, Joint Ventures and commercial contracts – they ensure that their lawyers have a thorough knowledge of their clients’ industry sectors and are therefore able to evaluate each client’s needs and objectives, understand and address all regulatory, competition, tax and other parameters of each transaction and achieve the best possible results.
o Energy (Oil and Gas) – the recent developments in the exclusive economic zones of Cyprus but also Israel, created demand for high level legal support in all aspects of exploration and exploitation of natural gas and oil reserves. The firm acted timely and joined forces with one of the biggest global law firms in order to expose its lawyers to this new field but also to secure the vast expertise of their global partners, for their clients.
