Description:

I am a litigation lawyer admitted to the Cyprus Bar in 2020. My practice mixes courtroom work with a practical business mindset. I represent individuals and companies in civil and commercial disputes, handle family matters including consensual divorce, custody, and maintenance, and take on criminal cases where digital forensics plays a central role.

Before law school, I co-founded a digital-marketing startup. There I handled the full spectrum from web development to accounting, closed cross-border deals, or built custom payroll systems from scratch because the directors wouldn't invest in proper CRM software. That entrepreneurial training shapes how I litigate: clear strategy, measurable goals, and strict budget discipline.

My legal work includes defending employment disputes and transfer-of-undertakings cases, reviving trademark applications that had stalled, and coordinating EUIPO filings. I also set up companies, provide nominee and compliance services, and handle the paperwork so clients can focus on running their business while I manage the legal risk. In criminal and quasi-criminal cases, I've challenged prosecutions that relied on automatically stored browser cache files, arguing the fundamental difference between "viewing online" and "possessing a file."

I've published on international tax law and the digital economy —"Open Texture of International Tax Law" & "Contemporary Issues of Possible Market Distortion by App Stores"— and previously worked on the legal team at the Central Bank Cyprus as researcher. Clients choose me for strategic thinking, concise drafting, and a modern, tech-literate approach to evidence. If you want advocacy that is precise, practical, and accountable, I am ready to help.
