The development of new technologies and introduction of new financial technology products contributed to the rapid growth and high regulation of the industry. Our team is equipped with the expertise and resources to provide detailed guidance prior to and throughout the licensing process. Adopting a pro-active approach, our team makes it a priority to communicate well in advance all risk and compliance issues ensuring the application and licensing process is as smooth and predictable as possible.
Applying our own expertise gained by knowledge, experience and certifications acquired by CySec, deploying our network of key industry contacts, we can advise, support and administer the strenuous licensing procedure leading to the successful set-up and operation of investment funds, investment firms, financial and payment institutions and other regulated entities and vehicles in Cyprus.
Our capital markets’ team advises on the full range of capital markets products, including  assistance in relation to listings of securities on the primary or secondary market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange, initial, secondary and dual public offerings on regulated or non-regulated markets, both within and outside the EU as well as private placements, Eurobond issues and collateral enforcement and registrations. Amongst the projects we have advised on include the issue and listing of EUR 600.000.000,00 subordinated convertible corporate bonds at the Cyprus Stock Exchange (ECM) by way of a private placement, the issue and listing of EUR 150,000.000,00 Eurobonds at the Euronext Dublin, as well as issue and listing of corporate bonds at the Vienna Stock Exchange.
Our analytical approach along with our long-established relationships with associate investment firms allows us to provide our clients with the essential integrated legal and administrative support.
