    Cyprus Oil and Gas Law

    The discovery of hydrocarbons reserves offshore Cyprus has placed the island on the natural gas exploration and exploitation map. We are one of the few Cyprus law firms specializing in Oil and Gas law, having hands-on expertise and a solid reputation.

    Under our Oil and Gas practice, our expert energy lawyers, trained in international oil & gas law, drafting and negotiation, advise on legal and regulatory issues associated with upstream, midstream and downstream developments in Cyprus. Having acted as Cyprus counsel for multinational oil & gas companies, we have an established track-record in addressing contractual and transactional issues with respect to exploration, exploitation and distribution of natural gas.

    Contact our Oil and Gas team to discuss your requirements.

    Merger Control and Cartels

    Merger control, abuses of market dominance and unfair trading practices are areas in which we have established a leading practice. In an increasingly competitive world, regulating cartels and other anticompetitive practices is a fundamental aspect of a strong Economy.

    We assist with victims of collusion in the market and advise on circumstances where a monopolistic or oligopolistic market suffers from abuse of dominance.

    If your business is merging with another business, whether within Cyprus or as a foreign-to-foreign merger, or is forming a joint venture or acquiring another business, you may need clearance from the Cypriot competition authority. Learn more or contact us directly to discuss your circumstances.
