Our Partner, Christina Ioannidou authored the Cyprus Market Insights chapter “Banking consolidation and the dawn of transformational mergers and acquisitions in Cyprus”, to the Global M&A Law Guide by The Global Legal Post, offering a comparative view of the legal frameworks behind today’s transactions.
“Cyprus has entered a new era of M&A: one defined by deals of genuine transformational complexity. The past year has seen successful completion of cross-border transactions, multi-layered banking and insurance consolidations, infrastructure project finance, and rigorous antitrust proceedings. The Eurobank-Hellenic Bank merger alone, at €1.3 billion and spanning multijurisdictional regulators, mandatory bids, squeeze-out, parallel listings and reorganisation, is proof that Cyprus has the legal infrastructure, regulatory sophistication and professional expertise, befitting a leading European M&A hub. My chapter in the Law Over Borders Global M&A Guide captures what this shift means in practice, and what it signals for the transactions ahead.” Christina Ioannidou
