Who We Are

Forged in Cypriot Courts. Feared Everywhere Else.

Stavros & Associates was built on one belief: every client deserves a lawyer more passionate about winning than the other side is about losing.

Founded by Nikolaos Stavros following a landmark €180M verdict against a Swiss bank, the firm has grown into one of Cyprus's most formidable legal forces — with a reputation that precedes us from Nicosia to New York.

"We don't settle for less. We settle for everything."
