Scordis, Papapetrou & Co LLC: Offering top tier legal services

Scordis, Papapetrou & Co LLC is a leading law firm regulated by the Cyprus Legal Council and the Cyprus Bar Association. The roots of the Company date back to 1922, when the oldest member of the Firm was founded.

The firm and its affiliates have expanded locally and internationally organically, as well as through mergers with other firms (together “SP&Co”), while in 2012, SP&Co co-founded SPA Financial Services Ltd, a licensed financial services company. This venture, along with the growing number of lawyers and other professionals employed within the group, creates synergies and joins practices.

Today, SP&Co offers a wide range of legal and professional services to clients in Cyprus and around the globe. With a team of around 60 specialised lawyers and other professionals, along with 40 support and administrative staff and offices in Nicosia, Limassol, Athens and, most recently, the UAE, SP&Co reflects on its 100-year history with pride and confidence.

The firm’s corporate & commercial practice is best known for dealing with high-profile local and international clients, with many cases being precedent-setting because of their complexity or importance. SP&Co has acted and advised on a multitude of multi-billion financial transactions (syndicated or not), most with a cross-border element and the provision of specialised advice on a variety of corporate and commercial matters forms part of its day-to-day practice (VCs, M&A, JVs). Finally, SP&Co has an extensive international dispute resolution practice (litigation and arbitration), especially in shareholder disputes and white-collar crime.

SP&Co handles both local and international litigation and arbitration for high-profile clients within Cyprus and across the world, with lawyers appearing on behalf of clients before courts in a variety of locations internationally. Apart from its longstanding strong general domestic litigation practice, which includes acting on behalf of banks and other financial institutions, public bodies, companies and individuals, SP&Co has established a ‘beyond the borders’ reputation, having acted, instructed or advised in relation to international multi-million claims resulting in litigation in Cyprus, the US, UK, BVI, Switzerland, Russia, Greece or arbitration in Cyprus, London (LCIA), Zurich (ZCC), Stockholm (SCC), at the International Court of Arbitration (France) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICAC) in Moscow.

Furthermore, SP&Co is a leader in the field of corporate support services and in the establishment and organisation of corporate structures for cross-border investments. It offers a wide range of services, including corporate, tax & VAT advisory, accounting, secretarial, banking support, escrow and trusteeship services and other related services through in-house tax consultants, accountants and other qualified professionals who deal with the day-to-day needs of SP&Co’s clients.

At SP&Co, a customer-centric service model has been implemented, which has consistently demonstrated its effectiveness over time. The firm aims to uphold this philosophy while simultaneously maintaining a leading role in delivering high-quality services to its clients. SP&Co also guarantees comprehensive oversight of its clients’ affairs, enabling well-informed and thoughtful decisions to be made in a customised and client-centric manner.

In an ever- evolving business landscape, SP&Co is committed to embracing any challenges that may arise and continuing to offer top tier services to its clients. This will be achieved through its ongoing investment in highly skilled personnel and its adoption of the latest technologies.
