For a fourth successive year the 2017 IFLR 1000 ratings, which were released on 14 October, place Andreas Neocleous & Co LLC in a league of our own, as the only law firm in Cyprus achieving IFLR’s prestigious Tier 1 rating. Six firms were ranked in the second tier, a further four in the third tier and five in the fourth tier.
IFLR quotes the positive feedback it received from clients and referral partners, including one client who says: “We worked with Andreas Neocleous & Co on a number of occasions since 2014. Neocleous is a very experienced and professional Cypriot firm. They can handle larger projects, and they are responsive, which is not the case for most Cypriot firms.” A regulatory client says: “The input is always accurate, timely and practical. The firm is a reliable, technically expert and friendly partner to us.”
For more than 20 years the IFLR1000 has been recognised as a leading independent guide to the world’s leading financial and corporate law firms and lawyers. Its first rankings were published in 1990 and it now covers more than 120 jurisdictions worldwide. Every year it carries out a rigorous assessment including feedback from clients on key factors such as firms’ technical ability, accessibility and communication, the depth of the team, the quality of client relationships and value for money. Rankings cannot be bought: they are based solely on the independent research carried out by the IFLR team.
Commenting on the ranking, Andreas Neocleous, chairman of the firm, said, “From the beginning our vision has been to provide our clients with world-class service, on a par with the world’s best law firms. Our distinction in being recognised by IFLR 1000 as the sole Tier 1 firm in Cyprus for a fourth successive year is a very welcome recognition of our progress in achieving this vision. I am grateful to our clients for their continued support and confidence in us, and to my colleagues for their efforts. We shall not rest on our laurels, but will continue to work hard to provide our clients with the best possible service, and to add value to their businesses.”
