Disputes can arise from contracts, business relationships, property transactions, construction projects, unpaid debts and many other commercial or private arrangements. Early legal advice can be important in identifying the available remedies, preserving evidence and determining the most appropriate strategy.
Our firm advises clients before court proceedings are commenced, including the review of contracts and correspondence, preparation of formal demands and letters before action, assessment of potential claims and defences, and negotiations aimed at resolving disputes where an appropriate settlement can be achieved.
Our civil and commercial litigation practice includes:
-Breach of contract and contractual disputes
-Commercial and business disputes
-Debt recovery and unpaid invoices
-Property and real estate disputes
-Construction and building disputes
-Landlord and tenant disputes
-Shareholder and corporate disputes
-Claims for damages and compensation
-Professional negligence disputes
-Probate, inheritance and beneficiary disputes
-Applications for interim injunctions and other protective court orders, where appropriate
-Enforcement of judgments and recovery procedures
Where a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation or another appropriate form of dispute resolution, we can represent clients in proceedings before the competent courts of Cyprus.
The procedure, evidence required, available remedies and applicable time limits depend on the nature of each claim. For this reason, clients should obtain legal advice as early as possible once a dispute arises or court proceedings are threatened.
Litigation is not always the only solution. Depending on the circumstances, a dispute may be capable of resolution through direct negotiation, mediation, settlement discussions or another form of alternative dispute resolution.
Our approach is to assess both the legal and commercial considerations of each matter and advise clients on the most effective strategy, whether that involves settlement negotiations or contested court proceedings.
George S. Theocharous LLC can assist from the initial assessment of a dispute through to final resolution. We prepare and review correspondence, advise on legal rights and obligations, conduct negotiations, commence or defend proceedings and assist with enforcement where required.
Our objective is to provide clear and practical advice while protecting our clients’ interests throughout the dispute-resolution process.
