Xenia Soulopoulou is the firm’s senior lawyer, with two decades of legal experience spanning commercial transactions, regulatory compliance, and cross-border advisory across Cyprus and Greece.
Her background spans both jurisdictions in a way that is genuinely rare: she brings not just familiarity with Cypriot law, but a practitioner’s working knowledge of Greek commercial and regulatory frameworks — which is directly relevant for the significant number of clients whose affairs involve both countries simultaneously.
At Y. Habari & Co. LLC, Xenia Soulopoulou works closely with the Managing Partner on the legal substance of client matters — drafting, analysis, regulatory navigation, and the documentation that underpins the firm’s transactional and advisory work.
Twenty years across Cyprus and Greece.
Xenia Soulopoulou’s legal career has been built across both the Cypriot and Greek legal environments, giving her a dual-jurisdiction perspective that is increasingly valuable as cross-border commercial activity between the two countries continues to grow. Her experience covers commercial law in its broadest sense — contracts, transactions, corporate structures, and the regulatory frameworks that govern them.
In regulatory matters, she has advised clients on compliance obligations, licensing requirements, and interaction with regulatory authorities in both jurisdictions. This includes work in areas where the Cypriot and Greek regulatory frameworks diverge, and where clients need clear, practical guidance rather than abstract legal analysis.
What Xenia works on at the firm.
- Commercial contracts — drafting, review, and negotiation across transaction types
- Corporate documentation for company formations, restructurings, and shareholder arrangements

Direct, experienced, bilingual.
Xenia Soulopoulou advises in Greek and English. For clients whose matters touch on Greek law, involve Greek counterparties, or require navigation of Greek regulatory bodies, she provides an advisory capability that most Cyprus-based practices cannot match.
Her approach to legal work is characterised by precision and practical focus. Twenty years in practice produces a kind of pattern recognition — an ability to identify quickly what matters in a transaction and where the real risk or complexity lies — that is difficult to replicate from a textbook.
