The Legal 500 Competition Litigation Guide: Cyprus Competition Law and Litigation Framework: A Practical Overview
Authored by Christos Paraskevas, Advocate and Managing Partner of Christos Paraskevas LLC, the contribution provides a practical overview of the current competition law and litigation framework in Cyprus. It examines the principal legislation governing restrictive agreements, abuse of dominance, merger control and private claims for damages, together with the application of Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
The Legal Landscape also considers recent enforcement activity and significant judicial developments in Cyprus. Particular attention is given to the relationship between regulatory investigations, administrative fines, judicial review proceedings and subsequent civil claims for damages. It explains why competition disputes should be approached not only as regulatory matters but also as potential sources of considerable commercial and litigation exposure.
The contribution further addresses the importance of preserving digital evidence, the possible consequences of procedural irregularities during investigations and the growing influence of artificial intelligence and algorithmic pricing on competition law. These developments create new challenges for businesses and underline the importance of obtaining legal advice at an early stage when planning commercial arrangements, distribution systems, pricing policies or corporate transactions.
Participation in this international publication reflects Christos Paraskevas LLC’s commitment to providing clear, commercially focused and strategically informed advice in complex competition and litigation matters.
