CHANGING THINGS FOR THE BETTER
We love changing things. It comes down to doing things correctly and even better within our law firm. Change is inevitable for the wellbeing of humans, and the personal development of every team member is the start of any change in our ecosystem. It is part of what gives us meaning: changing things for the better in Europe’s legal and business environment.
SUCCEEDING AS A TEAM
The success of the entire company is the success of every individual. We care about our people, and in our law firm, we encourage them to find and pursue their talents, tailor each individual’s roles accordingly, and expect that everyone is willing to do what it takes to get the job done. The family culture within the firm is a pillar of our future.
RESULTS FOR OUR CLIENTS
For us, our clients are always first. We consider their success our success, and we are willing to stand before a bus for them. We view the world from their eyes to understand them properly. We advise them as we would advise a member of our family (without the related emotional attachments that fog the mind). We never allow anything or anyone to get in the way. Whatever our clients’ concerns or needs, we are here to deliver.
ETHICS. DOING WHAT’S RIGHT
The great legacy of Polycarpos Philippou, the law firm’s founder, is nothing tangible. It is his approach to doing the right thing and being honest. This family value underpins everything we do. We are honest and fair with all of our clients, associates and people we interact with. It’s where we base our relationships with our stakeholders and how we create the necessary trust between us.
Founded in 1980 by Polycarpos Philippou, Philippou Law was built on a foundation of resilience, integrity, and a passion for justice. Known as Polis, he grew from humble beginnings in a Cypriot village to earning a law degree from the University of Athens while working full-time. His dedication and ethical approach earned him a reputation as a tenacious advocate.
In 2002, his daughter Eleni joined, steering the firm’s growth in real estate, immigration, and litigation. The addition of Gregoris Philippou in 2013 expanded the firm’s expertise into corporate, commercial, and trust law, solidifying its reputation for personalized, high-quality service.
Today, Philippou Law remains a compact, client-focused team, upholding the family values and commitment to excellence that have defined us for decades. As we transition to a partnership model, we aim to preserve our legacy and reward talented professionals who share our vision for doing things the right way.
