Michalis Anastasiou

Michalis Anastasiou is a partner at Evagoras Anastasiou Law Firm, a full-service practice based in Limassol, Cyprus, with a supporting office in London. The firm was named Company Registration & Administration Law Firm of the Year in Cyprus at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards, recognition that reflects its long-standing focus on guiding domestic and international clients through the incorporation and ongoing administration of Cypriot companies.

Company registration and corporate administration sit at the heart of the firm's work. Cyprus has become a favoured jurisdiction for holding companies, investment vehicles and cross-border trading structures, thanks to its EU membership, common-law heritage and competitive tax framework. Evagoras Anastasiou Law Firm supports clients across the full life cycle of a company, from selecting the appropriate corporate form and preparing constitutional documents through to registration with the Registrar of Companies and the continuing compliance obligations that follow. The firm reports having assisted with the registration of more than a thousand companies, an indication of the volume and consistency of its corporate practice.

Beyond company formation, the firm offers a broad range of legal services that allow it to act as a single point of contact for businesses establishing themselves in Cyprus. Its wider practice spans corporate and commercial law, immigration and residency matters, property and real-estate transactions, forex licensing, employment law, family law and litigation. This breadth means that an international client incorporating in Cyprus can also draw on advice covering the relocation of personnel, the acquisition of premises and the regulatory approvals that particular sectors require, without needing to instruct multiple advisers.

Michalis Anastasiou contributes to this corporate and administration-focused offering as a partner in the firm. Working alongside colleagues across the practice's Limassol and London bases, he helps clients navigate the procedural and regulatory demands of establishing and maintaining a corporate presence in Cyprus, and he supports the firm's international clientele in coordinating cross-border matters between the two jurisdictions in which the firm operates.

The firm describes itself as a leading law firm in Cyprus and places the client's best interests at the centre of its approach, emphasising practical, service-led advice for the businesses and individuals it represents. That client-first philosophy is reflected in a practice that combines technical company-law knowledge with an understanding of the commercial objectives behind each incorporation, whether the client is a start-up establishing its first entity, an established group adding a Cypriot subsidiary, or an overseas investor seeking a compliant European base.

The Corporate INTL Global Awards recognise leading advisers and firms across jurisdictions and practice areas worldwide, drawing on research into the market to identify those demonstrating particular strength in their field. The 2024 award positions Evagoras Anastasiou Law Firm, and Michalis Anastasiou as one of its partners, among the notable names in Cypriot company registration and administration law, underlining the firm's role in supporting the corporate structures that continue to make Cyprus an attractive location for international business.
