The provisions of Article 146 of the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus , prescribes the principles of administrative review in the Cypriot legal order, as well as judicial control over administrative acts.
Administrative acts are subject to judicial review, which comprises a crucial element in administrative law generally.

EMPLOYMENT LAW
Law includes every aspect of the employer-employee relationship. Workplace safety, wages, pensions and unemployment compensation are all aspects of employment law.
We offer legal advice to both employees and employers by firstly trying to involve the department of labour relations who act firstly as mediators
CRIMINAL LAW
Criminal law deals with behavior that is or can be construed as an offense against the public, society, or the state—even if the immediate victim is an individual. Our cases vary from traffic fines to drug offences , plagiarism , assaults and terrorist acts
FAMILY LAW
We try to act as mediators and reach an amicable solution instead of making the family matters deteriorate
Handling divorce cases as quick as possible even if one party is abroad since the procedures have been amplified with the use of facebook and viber so that the other party is notified of the procedures
Maintenance is always tricky and is there you need a good advocate who thinks outside of the box so that you get a good result for either party . Same goes with property cases
We are also expertise at adoption cases even if it includes a minor or an adult
Regarding custody cases and communication issues and especially conflicting cases we always aim in involving a child phychologist from the beginning via court
ASYLUM LAW
We fight for the rights of the asylum seekers in Cyprus and especially for people who come from unsafe countries such as Cameroon or Afganistan, or have experiences rape or diseases such as AIDS or hepatitis . We refer them via OKYPY to a governmental phychologist so that we can prove at court that they have been unstifiedly denied a refugee or supplementary protection status especially when their personal cicumstances illustrate that
Currently we are working on bringing towards the ECHR the case of a asylum prisoner who is in urgent need of phcyhologist and the courts court order to refer her to one and give us medcial evidence as to her state of mind has been cancelled via certiorari by the government
CIVIL LAW
The primary purpose of civil Law is to resolve disputes and provide compensation for someone injured by someone else’s acts or behavior.
We handle a variety of cases from road accidents to money owed to individuals for work they have done and have not been granted their fee
RENTAL LAW
The rental market in Cyprus is made of two different categories: the houses which are governed by the Rent Control Law (1983) and the free market. The Rent Control Law and its more recent amendments are applied to tenancies of residential or business real estates which qualify as “Controlled Areas”, like towns, suburbs, as well as rural centers, which were built before 29 December 1995.
Especially after covid a lot of owners have been facing the problem of tenants not paying . With the new amendments on the law we try to evict a tenant who does not pay as quick as possible and as economic as possible .
