Two decades advising international individuals, families, and businesses on Cyprus real estate, corporate structures, and residency — from first inquiry to final transfer.
Y. Habari & Co. LLC is a Nicosia-based legal practice built for international clients. We are not a general practice. We work in the areas that matter most to foreign investors and families — real estate, corporate structuring, immigration, and banking.
We work in English, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, French, German, and Armenian. We know Cyprus law. We understand your world.
More about the firm →“We work in partnership with our clients, anticipating their needs before they arise.”
Entering the Cyprus market requires legal clarity, strategic planning, and disciplined execution. We advise international investors on the legal and structural decisions that shape successful investment from the outset.
Cyprus is the EU’s easternmost member state. English common law. Full freedom of movement. A 15% corporate tax rate and over 65 double tax treaties. For international investors, it is the most accessible, most favourable entry point to the European Union.
We arrived in Cyprus not really knowing where to begin. Within a few weeks we had our residency applications ready, a property in Paphos cleared, and a complete plan for the whole process. The team worked alongside us at every step and made it feel entirely manageable.
The acquisition involved two jurisdictions and very little room for error. The firm understood what we needed from the very first conversation and delivered it exactly as agreed, on time and without any surprises along the way. We would not hesitate to use them again.
The team handled each stage of our development project with the thoroughness you expect from a specialised law firm. From the very beginning they gave us a clear work plan so we always knew exactly where we stood in the process and what was coming next.
Practical, plain-language guides prepared by the firm. No registration required for most resources. Written for international investors navigating Cyprus.
We respond to all enquiries within one business day. Consultations by phone, video, or in person at our Nicosia office.
