Another judicial year draws to a close — and with it, an opportunity to reflect on a particularly rewarding year for our Dispute Resolution team.

Complex cases, demanding challenges and, most importantly, significant successes have made this a year to be proud of. None of this would have been possible without the commitment of our team, the confidence of our clients and the valued relationships we have built with colleagues and friends across jurisdictions.

The end of the judicial year is also a welcome reminder of the importance of taking a little time to step away, recharge and enjoy the company of people with whom we share not only professional ties, but genuine friendships.

It was therefore a real pleasure to join friends and colleagues from , and for a memorable summer gathering in the beautiful surroundings of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.

Good company, inspiring conversations and a few relaxed moments — the perfect way to recharge before returning to the courtroom for the challenges and opportunities of the new judicial year.

Proud of the year behind us, grateful for the people around us, and looking forward to what lies ahead.

Wishing our colleagues, clients and friends a wonderful summer.

We are proud to continue advising and representing clients in some of the region's most complex and high-value international disputes, where commercial litigation, asset recovery and international arbitration converge.

An was issued today in favour of our clients/plaintiffs in a claim exceeding €20 million in damages.

The Court dismissed the Defendants’ application challenging the of the Cyprus Courts, which was based on alleged parallel proceedings in Russia, allowing the action to proceed in Cyprus.

The decision provides a thorough analysis of the core principles of and lis alibi pendens:

(i) The burden of proof lies squarely on the applicant to demonstrate that a foreign forum is “clearly or distinctly more appropriate” — 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗟𝘁𝗱 — and that it has the most real and substantial connection to the dispute — 𝗟𝗼i𝘇𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗸𝗮 & Sons 𝗟𝘁𝗱 𝘃 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲.
(ii) The mere existence of parallel proceedings is insufficient without strict identity of parties and causes of action, which the Court found was not established.
(iii) Jurisdictional objections must be raised promptly and not at a late procedural stage - 𝗚.𝗝. 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝘁𝗱 𝘃 𝗔.𝗟. 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝘁𝗱.
(iv) A party’s own procedural conduct, including the filing of a counterclaim, may amount to submission to the jurisdiction and render any objection legally unsustainable.
(v) A stay will only be granted where it is proven that the foreign forum better serves the interests of justice and convenience - 𝗟𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼 𝗟𝘁𝗱 𝘃 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮 𝗚𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱.

The judgment is a clear reminder that jurisdictional challenges require timely, consistent, and fully substantiated arguments - not tactical afterthoughts.

We are pleased to share that Loizides & Associates LLC successfully represented a in World Intellectual Property Organization domain name proceedings against a Cyprus-based complainant.

The dispute concerned the domain name of our clients and arose in the context of a broader commercial and contractual relationship. The case involved complex issues of , domain name rights, and the intersection with contractual arrangements.

The WIPO Panel ultimately rejected the complaint, confirming that the matter was contractual in nature and not suitable for transfer under the UDRP.

This outcome highlights our firm’s expertise in cross-border disputes, IP strategy, and domain name .
