Built on a foundation of professional excellence and personalised client service, the firm has established itself as a trusted partner for clients navigating complex legal landscapes, especially in areas where legal insight and strategic business understanding intersect. With a structured approach that organises the firm into specialised departments, PAPASAVVAS & LISKAVIDOU LLC brings together experts in corporate and administrative law, financial technology and banking, tax and tax planning, employment law, GDPR and migration law, ensuring that clients benefit from deeply integrated legal and fiscal solutions tailored to their specific needs and jurisdictions.

The firm’s commitment to delivering timely, cost-effective and practical solutions, coupled with a genuine emphasis on building long-term relationships, reflects a client-focused ethos that has earned it recognition and repeat engagements across a range of sectors.
At the heart of the firm’s leadership is Kristina Liskavidou, a Managing Partner whose expertise in tax planning and corporate law underpins much of the firm’s high-value advisory work. Educated in the UK, where she earned both her Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at the University of Wolverhampton and a Master of International Corporate Finance (LLM) from the University of Reading, Kristina was admitted to the Cyprus Bar Association in 2015. Her legal practice spans corporate and commercial law with particular focus on cross-border transactions, such as migration and re-domiciliation of companies, international tax planning and drafting of international contracts and agency agreements. Her professional experience also includes extensive work in immigration law, particularly for high-net-worth individuals, as well as real estate, conveyancing, wills, succession and probate. Kristina’s linguistic capabilities in Russian, Greek and English further position her as a versatile adviser capable of serving a diverse international clientele. In addition to her core legal practice, Kristina holds roles that underscore her broader engagement with professional and regulatory communities, including partnership in the Neocourses Innovation Center, affiliate membership in the International Compliance Association and accreditation as a mediator by the Cyprus Ministry of Justice.
Moreover, the firm’s practice extends beyond traditional legal services, embracing emerging areas, such as financial technology, cryptocurrencies and blockchain – ensuring sustained relevance in an evolving global legal market. Its affiliation with international organisations and compliance associations reflects an outward-looking perspective that aligns with Cyprus’s own position as a commercially attractive and tax-efficient jurisdiction within the EU. Meanwhile, Cyprus’s business-friendly regulatory framework supports the firm’s ability to advise on tax mitigation strategies, wealth preservation and international expansion – reinforcing the firm’s role as a strategic adviser to clients building or relocating businesses on the island.
