Legal Business is the market-leading glossy monthly magazine for the UK and global legal market. Published ten times a year, the magazine reaches thousands of senior lawyers at major commercial firms across the UK and key financial centres of Europe, Asia and the US. It is published by Legalease, the publishers of the respected “Legal 500” rankings.

On 6 July Legal Business issued its inaugural “Euro Elite” report, its first study of the advisers redefining Europe’s legal market. Following thorough research and analysis, the report identifies the top 100 law firms in Europe, drawn from 25 countries across the continent. The report describes in detail the methodology and criteria used to evaluate firms and to select the final 100 firms for inclusion in the “Euro Elite”. Firms from 42 countries were evaluated, but for 17 countries no firm achieved the required standards.

We are delighted to say that Andreas Neocleous & Co LLC is the sole Cyprus law firm included in the “Euro Elite”.

The full listing for the Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and the Balkans region is as follows:
