Economou & Co LLC has released the second instalment in its practical guide series on arbitration in Cyprus, titled “Arbitration in Cyprus: Part II – The Arbitration Agreement.”

Following the first guide, which covered the applicable legislative framework, mechanisms for enforcement, and the grounds and procedure for challenging arbitral awards, this edition turns to the arbitration agreement itself. It is structured into four sections: the first explores arbitrability and restrictions on arbitration; the second outlines the validity requirements for an arbitration agreement, as well as its separability and the default rules on seat and language; the third addresses the applicable law; and the fourth considers who may be a party to an arbitration agreement.

Drawing on the firm’s recent successes - including recognition of a €500 million LCIA award and securing a Mareva injunction against a state - this series of guides on Arbitration in Cyprus reflects the depth of our international arbitration expertise.

The guide is designed for legal practitioners, in-house counsel, and international investors seeking clarity on the evolving arbitration framework in Cyprus.
