Our Criminal Law team advises and represents clients across the full spectrum of criminal matters, including serious financial and white-collar crime, homicide, serious violent offences, drug-related offences, sexual offences, fraud and false representations.

We are a close-knit team of practitioners with extensive experience in complex and high-profile criminal proceedings. Our work is grounded in careful preparation, clear strategy and a consistent focus on protecting our clients' rights at every stage.

We act for individuals from the earliest stages of an investigation, often before charges are brought, including police station advice and pre-charge engagement with investigating and prosecuting authorities. Where proceedings follow, we represent clients before the District Courts and Assize Courts, as well as on appeal before the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Cyprus.
