How We Solve Your Problem:
Technical Understanding:
Cyprus’ corporate tax rate of 12.5% is one of the lowest in the EU, but there are still complex tax considerations. We help you navigate this environment to align your structure with your business needs.
Once the terms of the deal are established, drafting clear and legally enforceable contracts is essential. We ensure that the terms are not only fair but also legally binding in Cyprus and internationally.
How We Solve Your Problem:

Whether it’s the merger agreement, shareholder agreement, or purchase agreement, we handle negotiations to ensure the deal is structured to your advantage while keeping legal terms airtight.

How We Solve Your Problem:
Understanding:
Failure to secure appropriate regulatory approvals can lead to delays or even the collapse of the deal. We ensure your deal adheres to all regulations, ensuring a smooth and timely transaction.
Once the deal is closed, integration becomes the next challenge. We ensure that the transition is smooth, whether it’s aligning corporate structures or integrating systems.
How We Solve Your Problem:
Data-Led:
Integration errors often cost businesses up to 30% of the transaction value. We ensure your business is fully operational post-deal, minimizing risk and increasing efficiency.

An M&A legal advisor guides you through due diligence, compliance, contract negotiations, and legal risk mitigation during mergers or acquisitions in Cyprus.
The process typically takes 3-12 months, depending on the complexity of the deal and regulatory approvals.
Legal requirements include shareholder approval, due diligence, contract negotiation, and obtaining regulatory approvals from bodies like CySEC.
Due diligence involves examining the target company’s financials, legal standing, and liabilities to assess potential risks.
Cyprus offers favorable tax rates, but the structure of the deal (asset vs. share) influences tax liabilities, which we help refine.
In a share deal, you acquire shares, including liabilities, while in an asset deal, you buy specific assets without assuming liabilities.
We ensure compliance by conducting thorough due diligence, understanding Cypriot regulations, and obtaining necessary approvals for the transaction.
M&A transactions in Cyprus don’t have to be daunting. We provide clear, structured legal guidance that ensures your business is protected at every stage of the transaction.
