The Firm

A boutique practice.
Two decades on the ground.

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.
