About us
We are a Cyprus-based corporate law firm with a focus on delivering high-quality advice and practical solutions for our clients.
Our goal is simple — to support clients as they grow and succeed in the Cypriot market and internationally. Drawing on our experience in advising some of the world's most prominent corporations, we help clients to close deals, solve problems, and protect their interests.
And while the challenges our clients bring us may vary, we approach and resolve each one with the same single-minded commitment: finding the smartest and most cost-effective way to achieve the biggest impact.
Our lawyers are qualified in both Cyprus and England & Wales, bringing an internationally-recognised standard of legal practice to every client relationship and allowing us to advise seamlessly across common law and civil law systems.
We bring direct experience from advising multinational corporations, investment funds, and major financial institutions on complex cross-border transactions and disputes in a variety of industries and legal disciplines.
We deliberately keep our practice focused — combining the depth and standards of a major law firm with the responsiveness, direct partner access, and cost-efficiency that only a specialist boutique can deliver.
Our lawyers have acted for some of the world's most prominent businesses across a broad range of sectors and jurisdictions.
Ioannis specialises in corporate and commercial transactional work, with a focus on M&A, investments and restructurings, as well as general contract matters — including joint ventures, partnerships, and commercial agreements. Drawing on his extensive commercial experience, he has also developed the firm's dispute resolution practice, which focuses on complex business law matters under Cyprus law.
Ioannis is dual-qualified as an Advocate in Cyprus and a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England & Wales — a combination that allows him to advise clients on transactions with a cross-border dimension with particular effectiveness. Before founding Yiasemis LLC, he worked as a corporate finance lawyer in the London office of Addleshaw Goddard, where he advised prominent global businesses and individuals on market-leading transactions across a broad range of industries and jurisdictions.
Drawing on our experience from working with some of the world's most progressive organisations, at Yiasemis LLC we have built a culture of respect, support and inclusion for our colleagues and clients around the world.
We believe that people can only reach their full potential in a collaborative and supportive environment, and we strive to reflect that belief in the way we work every day.
We care about the way we do business and we are committed to giving back to our communities and stakeholders through our legal pro bono programme, which focuses on supporting low-income entrepreneurs, start-ups and small businesses with free legal advice.
