Economou & Co LLC has been recognised by Mondaq in its Spring 2026 Thought Leadership Awards in the category of Arbitration and Dispute Resolution for Cyprus. The awards showcase the top authors based on total readership between October 2025 and March 2026, with winners recognised across multiple countries and practice areas.

The recognition follows the firm's authorship of the Cyprus chapter of Mondaq's Comparative Guide on International Arbitration. The guide, authored by Ioannis Economou, Eleftherios Economou and Michalis Zivanaris, provides a comprehensive overview of the arbitration framework in Cyprus, covering the governing legislation, the validity and separability of arbitration agreements, tribunal appointment and powers, interim relief, recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, confidentiality of proceedings and grounds for challenging awards. It addresses the distinctions between domestic arbitration under Cap. 4 and international commercial arbitration governed by the International Commercial Arbitration Law (Law 101/1987), as amended by Law 11(I)/2024, which incorporates the UNCITRAL Model Law. The guide also examines recent legislative developments, including the codification of arbitration-related procedures under the new Civil Procedure Rules and the proposed consolidation of the existing arbitration legislation into a single statutory framework.

The contribution reflects the firm's active involvement in cross-border disputes and arbitration-related matters, and its commitment to producing substantive, practice-oriented legal commentary for an international audience.

Mondaq's Thought Leadership Awards are issued twice yearly and are based on readership data across its global platform, which serves over 20 million readers in the legal and professional services sector.
