For highly technical or time-sensitive matters, we assist clients in resolving disputes through expert determination and adjudication. By leveraging our industry-specific knowledge, we ensure that outcomes are both accurate and commercially practical.

Enforcement of Arbitral Awards

Our firm has significant experience in enforcing and challenging arbitral awards both domestically and internationally. We regularly handle proceedings under the New York Convention and other international frameworks, ensuring our clients’ rights are fully protected.

Our Experience and Legal Framework 

Alignment with the New Cyprus Civil Procedure Rules 2023 

The New Civil Procedure Rules introduced in 2023 place a greater emphasis on ADR as a preferred dispute resolution mechanism. Our firm is well-versed in these developments and integrates them into our approach to achieve practical and timely outcomes for our clients.

Expertise in Cross-Border and Industry-Specific Disputes

We represent clients in multi-jurisdictional disputes and provide solutions tailored to the specific demands of different industries, including energy, technology, real estate, financial services, and shipping. Our deep understanding of complex commercial environments allows us to deliver results that meet both legal and business objectives.

Selected Arbitration Experience

Our arbitration team has represented clients in commercial and construction disputes, including proceedings involving complex contractual obligations, technical issues and substantial financial claims.

In a recent construction arbitration, Papantoniou & Papantoniou LLC represented the respondents in proceedings concerning a contractual dispute. The arbitration process facilitated negotiations between the parties and ultimately resulted in a mutually agreed settlement, avoiding the need for a final arbitral determination.

Our approach combines legal and procedural analysis with a practical understanding of our clients' commercial objectives, whether a dispute requires formal arbitration proceedings or can be resolved through negotiation.
