TechIsland launches new professional initiative for the Legal Community

Cyprus’ largest tech association, TechIsland, has announced the launch of a new professional initiative: the TechIsland Legal Community.

This is a dedicated professional network for lawyers, legal advisors, and compliance professionals who work in Cyprus’ fast-growing tech sector, an announcement notes.

"As part of its broader mission to strengthen Cyprus’ position as a regional tech hub, TechIsland continues to expand its professional communities across key business functions. The Legal Community complements these efforts by addressing the needs of professionals responsible for navigating regulatory frameworks, compliance obligations, corporate governance, and industry-specific legislation," the announcement continued.

It said that the newly established Legal Community serves as a platform for professional networking, knowledge exchange, and peer collaboration. Members will gain access to the community’s group chat on Telegram and be invited to exclusive meetups, focused on legal education and professional networking.

"The community is moderated by Memnia Papadopoulou, Head Legal Counsel at SPORTSOFT, Roman Zanin, General Counsel, Tax & Compliance at Wargaming, and Olga Demidova, Co-founder of SC Advisors. The moderators will oversee the community's engagement, help ensure compliance with participation guidelines, and support the creation of a collaborative and respectful environment," the announcement said.

It continued that eligible members include legal advisors, in-house counsels, and compliance officers who work with TechIsland member companies, as well as external law firm professionals who work with these companies and have been nominated by their clients.

"The community’s primary aim is to foster meaningful knowledge exchange, encourage professional collaboration, and offer guidance on legal and regulatory matters that are vital to the tech industry.
