Private Client

A.G. Erotocritou LLC's multi-awarded "top tier" department (ranked for many consecutive years by Chambers and Partners at Tier 1 in Cyprus) offers an all-embracing range of services to HNW and UNHW individuals, encompassing a broad cross-section of contentious and non-contentious matters, which may require the intervention and involvement of several legal disciplines. 

A.G. Erotocritou LLC is regarded as one of the market leaders in the private client sector. Our firm has been recognised for the excellent client relations built on trust and understanding, which it cultivates in providing its tailored services. 

Our private client department has recently received invaluable praise from HNW Chambers and Partners, which ranked A.G. Erotocritou LLC as a "top tier" firm in the private client sector. Specifically, the directory has noted the following:

"A.G. Erotocritou is known for being a "dynamic and energetic" firm."  The firm advises local and international clients in a wide range of private wealth matters, which includes tax planning, banking and trusts. The firm's lawyers also assist HNW clients with investing in Cyprus. Interviewees praise the firm's "tailored advice" and "attention to detail" , and one observer reports that "their responsiveness was noticeable." "The work was perfect" says another source; "they were responsible and commercially aware, and they know how to work with HNWIs who have their own views on how things should be done. I would recommend them."

The firm and its members, are also ranked at Tier 1 by Legal500 Real Estate (an area which is often “utilised” by clients seeking related support) but also in Dispute Resolution (which includes contentious probate and trusts). Other awards have also been secured by the department in the last years from IFLR, LexologyIndex and BestLawyers.
