We are associated with a number of well-respected, medium-sized accounting firms in Cyprus that provide for as much as 30% of our clientele. We are therefore in a position to provide accounting (through our associates) as well as legal services through our law office. Moreover, we are dealing in bulk -and on a daily basis- with working professionals, rather than with lay clients, which ensures a high standard and level of service provided to our clients.

We are also in association with legal professionals in all districts in Cyprus (Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta-Paralimni) with whom we share knowledge and expertise in various areas of law in order to provide a more comprehensive and thorough legal solution to our clients' special needs.

We are also affiliated with other Law Offices in Hellas, in Athens, in Thessaloniki, and in Crete.

Furthermore South Africa maintains a considerable Greek community that lives there in prosperity. We maintain a number of clients from South Africa with special needs in international real estate asset management, the setup and administration of offshore international trusts as well the drafting of wills and the carrying out of probate actions.

ITALY
Italy is one of the seven most industrially developed countries in the world where many multinational companies exist. Many Italian clients wish to register Cyprus commercial and non commercial Companies, register real estate assets in Cyprus companies and utilize extensive Cyprus bank facilities. For this reason we maintain good working relationships with Lawyers and Notaries in Rome, Milano and Sicily who help us in Real Estate, Employment, Commercial and Company Law matters in Italy. We take pride working at the Civil Tribunal of Rome whereas we also attend frequent seminars and courses about various aspects of Italian Law. Due to the increasing number of Italian clients, and as a gesture of appreciation to our respected Italian clients, our website has been translated in Italian language as well, effective, August 2009.

Neophytou & Neophytou LLC - Professional Memberships

ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL DES JEUNES AVOCATS (AIJA)
In 2006 we joined aija because at Neophytou & Neophytou our ever-lasting endeavour is to be able to stay ahead of our competition in terms of the quality of legal services that we can provide to our local and international clients. AIJA (International Association of Young Lawyers) is a dynamic international organisation comprised solely by young legal professionals, aged 45 and under, which educate its members on all major legal and business developments worldwide. Focusing on the needs of our international clients, and as the world is rapidly transforming itself into a global village, where people, goods, and services are travelling through many jurisdictions like never before in human history, we immediately appreciated the imperativeness of being part of a global organisation like aija.

The benefits are endless. We partake in various aija seminars and conferences and stay current of international legal, and business developments in various areas of law. We meet other legal professionals practicing in other jurisdictions and create affiliations with them in areas of law of common practice and of common interest. We stay current of legal and business developments in EU and non-EU jurisdictions. We receive aija newsletters and aija legal magazines, and we have direct access and exposure to the huge depository of aija publications. This ensurs a channel of continuing education prouring steadily in our law office.

These benefits have already been noted in a very positive way by our clients with special legal needs. These are local clients in Cyprus that have requested legal services in another jurisdiction and also international/foreign clients that are requesting legal services in Cyprus.
