The firm maintains a specialised team which advises and represents corporations who employ personnel in Cyprus on the full spectrum of employment laws and regulations applicable in this jurisdiction. We provide both advisory services and litigation representation. We also draft relevant documentations and issue opinions on employment law matters.
We maintain vast expertise in general employment matters but also on speficic and complex employment issues that are not customary in Cyprus, such as TUPE, large redundancies and restructurings.
Our core advisory work covers:
- employment agreements
- GDPR and data protection
- employee governance advice (including the preparation of employment manuals and enterprise policies)
- human resources advisory matters
- redundancies
- the acquisition of employment permits or reunification permits for companies and multinationals who wish to employ non-EU personnel in Cyprus, either on a permanent or temporary basis, and ancillary matters in relation to employment laws and regulations.
Our core litigation representation covers cases of:
- termination of employment
- unfair dismissal
- cases involving the enforcement of employment undertakings (confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation)
- redundancies
The team is at the forefront of legal developments and market practice. In the wake of COVID-19 our team was at the forefront of developments advising on the suspension of operations, redundancies as well as providing general guidance on the government schemes introduced. Although each member of the team has niche areas of expertise, the team works on the full spectrum of employment matters, which we consider to be essential to deliver a full service to our clients.
