Earlier this week, the Cypriot government announced a comprehensive package of measures to boost of people with disabilities, recognizing the role that Social Enterprises (SE) play in building a more inclusive economy.

We are thrilled to have played a crucial role in this development, as a year ago, we advised on the registration of True Heart Café, Cyprus's first registered social enterprise. The legal infrastructure is now in place, the regulatory framework is developing, and the state is actively investing in an ecosystem that allows social enterprises to thrive.

Feel free to reach out to our team for any questions on the establishment of social enterprises in Cyprus, and the relevant legal and regulatory landscape.

The European Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee has recently approved a legislative proposal on what is referred to as the 'single currency package', comprising three legislative instruments, namely (i) the establishment of the digital euro; (ii) the provision of digital euro services by payment services providers (PSPs), incorporated in member states whose currency is not the euro; and (iii) the legal tender of euro banknotes and coins.

The proposal seeks to modernise the Eurosystem in the area of digital finance by offering individuals and businesses a private, secure and innovative means of payment, while safeguarding their right to choose their payment method.

It’s a wrap on our three-week summer program!

Over the past three weeks, we hosted over 20 students who had the opportunity to learn about the legal profession, develop practical skills, discuss with our team, and gain valuable insight into the life of a law firm. The highlight was our weekly Friday mock trials, where students stepped into roles and put the knowledge they acquired during the week into practice.

A heartfelt to all our participants for their enthusiasm and commitment, and to our colleagues who dedicated time to mentoring.

We wish everyone the best in their studies and careers!

Outstanding achievement!

We are extremely proud of our team for securing the annulment of an ex parte interim order in a Landmark Decision that marks the first time a Cypriot Court has authoritatively ruled on the scope and mandatory character of Part 25.2(3) of the 2023 Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) in the context of interim relief in support of foreign proceedings. This judgment provides clear guidance to practitioners and confirms that strict compliance with the mandatory nature of Part 25.2(3) of CPR is a jurisdictional prerequisite.

Our team was represented by George Z. Georgiou, Romanos Loizides, Agathi Zervou and Tatiana Kouri. Their achievement reflects their dedication, strategic thinking, and commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients, while contributing to the development of Cyprus's legal framework.

Congratulations to everyone involved in securing this landmark decision.
