THE STANDARD OF THE OFFICE

What We Value

Legal ability develops through practice. Character is visible from the beginning. We look for candidates who combine intellectual curiosity with restraint, respect for confidential work and the discipline to complete ordinary tasks exceptionally well.

Sound Judgement

The ability to distinguish what is important, what requires verification and when a question should be raised.
02

Clear Writing

Structured, accurate communication that respects the reader and avoids unnecessary complication.
03

Confidentiality

Mature handling of client information, internal discussions and commercially sensitive material.
04

Attention to Detail

Careful reading, accurate records and a willingness to check the work before it leaves the office.
05

Commercial Awareness

An interest in the client, the transaction and the practical purpose behind the legal question.
06

Professional Responsibility

Reliability, preparation and ownership of commitments within the limits of the candidate’s experience.
PROFESSIONAL EXPOSURE

Work With Substance and Context

Our work frequently crosses borders, industries and legal disciplines. A corporate instruction may involve governance, tax coordination, beneficial ownership and compliance. A private-client matter may combine residence, property, succession and documentation of wealth.

Candidates can expect exposure appropriate to their level. Interns observe and assist. Trainees build foundations under supervision. Junior lawyers are expected to apply their experience while continuing to develop professional judgement.

Areas You May Encounter

  • International tax and private wealth
  • Cyprus relocation and residence matters
  • Private enterprise and corporate advisory

CANDIDATE QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a completed law degree required for the internship?

No. The internship is open to current university students. Law students are welcome, as are students in a relevant discipline who can demonstrate a genuine interest in legal practice, business, compliance, taxation or international affairs.

What is required for the Trainee Lawyer position?

A completed recognised law degree is required. The applicant should also be eligible to complete the registration required for trainee advocates in Cyprus and should have strong Greek and English, careful research habits and professional discretion.

What experience is required for the Junior Lawyer position?

The Junior Lawyer position requires a valid licence to practise law in Cyprus and at least one year of relevant legal experience. The application should explain the candidate’s practical responsibilities rather than list job titles alone.

Can I apply for more than one position?

Yes, but select the position that most closely matches your present qualifications and explain any wider interest in the motivation section. If your profile is better suited to another available position, it may be considered accordingly.

Which documents should I upload?

A current CV is required. You may also upload relevant academic records, professional certificates or a concise writing sample. Supporting documents should be directly relevant and should not contain confidential information belonging to another employer or client.

Do additional languages help an application?

Yes. Greek and English are particularly important for the legal positions. Russian, Hebrew, Chinese, German and other languages can be valuable in international client work, but language ability does not replace the core qualification required for each role.

Will every applicant be invited to an interview?

No. Applications are reviewed against the requirements of the selected position. Candidates whose qualifications and profile correspond with the role may be contacted for the next stage.
