Haviaras & Philippou LLC
Litigation · Cyprus
Michael K. Philippou is one of the founders of our firm. In 2008 his own firm was the ground where Haviaras & Philippou LLC stood and grew to the well-established and reputable firm that it is today.

He graduated from the Law faculty of University of Warwick where he acquired his L.L.B. Honours and then from the University of Nottingham in the UK where he received his L.L.M in Private International Law.

He has been registered as a member of both the Bar Association of Nicosia and Cyprus since 2001 and has been a successful practicing advocate and litigator since then.

During the years 2009 to 2017 he was elected among his peers to be the Secretary of Nicosia’s Bar Association which enhanced the respect he has managed to earn not only by fellow advocates but also by the Judicial Bench.

On February 2016, Michael was granted the License of Insolvency Practitioner in Cyprus which led him to enter yet again into new fields of law which the community demanded due to the economic changes and restrains that were taking place globally at the time. Michael’s has been leading his well selected team through his main areas of practice, those being mainly but not exhaustively: insurance, labour, insolvency and commercial law.

In 2022, Michael and a handful of colleagues from other firms formed FIL (Forum of Insurance Lawyers), which aims to promote the interests and fair administration of justice with a particular focus on insurance related litigation and resolution of insurance disputes. Michael, as president of FIL, has been invited to take part in AIDA’s conferences around the world, the last two being in Switzerland and Israel.
