Frequently asked questions
1. What makes M. ANASTASOPOULOU & CO. LLC different from other law firms in Cyprus?
We are a boutique law firm built on discretion, legal precision, and strategic thinking. Our clients receive direct, senior-level attention not generic solutions or delegated work.

2. Do you work with international clients?
Yes. The majority of our clients are either based abroad or have assets and legal matters spanning multiple countries. Whether you’re relocating to Cyprus, structuring a cross-border group, or navigating a dispute in the EU, we provide tailored legal advice and handle all necessary coordination with foreign advisors.
3. Can you assist with setting up a Cyprus holding company or SPV?
Yes. We regularly establish Cyprus holding entities and special purpose vehicles (SPVs) as part of international structures. We advise on tax considerations, substance requirements, directorship and nominee options, and compliance with EU law. Our service is end-to-end from company incorporation to ongoing legal and regulatory support.
4. Do you handle asset protection and succession planning?
We do. We work with entrepreneurs, family offices, and private individuals to design asset protection strategies that are legally sound and internationally enforceable. Whether through trusts, foundations, shareholder agreements, or family constitutions, we help clients preserve wealth and control in line with their values and objectives.
5. Can you assist in Family Court matters in Cyprus?
6. Do you offer real estate legal services?
Yes. We advise both private and institutional clients on real estate acquisitions in Cyprus including due diligence, contractual drafting, title clearance, and liaising with land registry and planning authorities. We also assist foreign buyers with compliance, residency requirements, and financing structures where needed.
7. Can you help with yacht or aircraft acquisitions under Cyprus or international law?
Yes. We advise on the acquisition, financing, and registration of luxury assets such as yachts and aircraft, including flagging, charter structuring, and regulatory compliance. Our clients include private buyers, family offices, and corporations who value our ability to coordinate across multiple jurisdictions.
8. Do you offer ongoing legal support for companies or private clients?
Yes. We act as long-term advisors for a select group of clients, offering retained or on-call legal services across corporate, regulatory, and private matters. This includes board-level advice, contract review, regulatory reporting, and general counsel support for clients without in-house legal teams.
9. Can you handle shareholder or director disputes?
Yes. We have experience in corporate dispute resolution, including shareholder disagreements, breach of fiduciary duties, deadlocks, and governance challenges. We provide legal opinions, strategic advice, and representation where necessary.

Yes. We advise regulated entities on CySEC compliance, internal policies, risk assessment, governance obligations, and inspections. We also support directors and shareholders in understanding their personal liabilities under Cypriot and EU law.
11. What are your fees and how do you charge?
Our pricing depends on the complexity, urgency, and nature of the matter. We provide fixed-fee, hourly, or project-based quotes after an initial consultation. We are transparent from the outset and we do not engage in low-cost, high-volume work. Our clients choose us for value, not price.
12. Can you work alongside my accountant, family office, or foreign legal team?
13. Do you take on litigation cases?
Yes, selectively. Our litigation practice focuses on commercial, civil, and regulatory disputes, often involving high stakes or cross-border enforcement. We are not a volume litigation shop; we only take on cases where we believe we can make a material difference and where the client’s values align with our approach.
14. How do I become a client?
After a brief introductory call or exchange, we evaluate whether the matter fits our scope. If we proceed, you’ll receive an engagement letter outlining our role, timeline, and costs. We do not offer unpaid exploratory work, our time is reserved for serious inquiries and trusted long-term partnerships.
What our clients say
Relocating my business from the Netherlands to Cyprus was a strategic decision. In the Netherlands, nearly half of my income went to taxes. Now, I receive dividends tax-free, and with the available deductions in Cyprus, the company’s taxable profit is minimal.
Entrepreneur, Recruitment Agency
We faced a complex shareholder dispute involving governance issues. The legal opinion prepared by the team was thorough and well-argued. It proved key in demonstrating breaches of fiduciary duties by certain directors and enabled us to take decisive legal action.
Founder & Investor, Multinational Company
Navigating licensing and compliance was challenging, but the team's guidance was exceptional. Their precise legal advice helped us address regulatory concerns proactively and ultimately saved us from a significant administrative fine.
CFO, Online Trading Platform
I outsourced my company’s internal legal work to this law firm and immediately saw the benefits. It saved us significantly on salaries, social insurance, and leave costs. Having a dedicated legal service provider is far more efficient than maintaining in-house staff.
Founder, Electronic Money Institution
As a service provider based in Dubai, I was seeking a reliable partner in Cyprus to handle company formation, accounting, and audit services for our clients. M. A & CO. LLC offered an exceptional all-in-one solution that saved us both time and hassle.
