Contract Law

Contract Law in Cyprus is one of the main areas of law as it has the most serious impact in our daily life. The heart of our practice is relating to contracts. We advise and provide drafts to our clients on a broad range of commercial and other agreements.

Under common law and as codified by the Cyprus Contracts Law, Chapter 149, Contract Law can be defined as the set of rules governing the relationship, the content and validity of an agreement between two or more persons, individuals or legal entities, as regards the sale of goods or the provision of services or the exchange of interests or ownership.
