Interview with: Andreas Mylonas, Managing Director and Advocate

What do you see as the main points that differentiate amg mylonas & associates, llc from your competitors?

Established in 2013, Mylonas Law was founded with a vision to redefine the way legal services are delivered in Cyprus. We are not a traditional law firm but a dynamic legal and strategic advisory partner for our clients. Our approach combines deep legal expertise with commercial understanding, offering bespoke advice across corporate, commercial, private equity, shipping, energy, real estate, and international tax.

What differentiates us is our personal approach, efficiency, and business-minded perspective. Every client engagement is partner-led, ensuring that matters are handled exclusively by experienced advocates who understand both the legal and commercial imperatives. We take pride in delivering solutions within demanding timelines, maintaining the highest level of confidentiality, and always focusing on practical, result-oriented outcomes.

Our culture is defined by adaptability, creativity, and commitment to excellence. We see ourselves as problem solvers who deliver clarity, not complexity. This mindset enables us to generate tangible value and a real competitive advantage for our clients.

 

Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that?

We anticipate continued growth across our corporate, private equity, shipping, energy, and real estate practices. Cyprus is increasingly becoming a preferred jurisdiction for international companies establishing their headquarters or relocating their tax residency to the island, driven by its stable legal system, favourable tax regime, and strategic geographical location.

At the same time, Cyprus is undergoing significant transformation in sectors such as shipping, renewable energy, and real estate development. Our firm is deeply involved in advising clients on vessel registration, ship finance, and complex cross-border transactions, as well as structuring real estate investments that attract institutional and private investors seeking secure and profitable opportunities.

We also see steady growth in relocation and residency planning, as more high-net-worth individuals and multinational companies choose Cyprus as a European base for their families and operations. The combination of lifestyle, tax efficiency, and legal certainty continues to position Cyprus as a leading jurisdiction for long-term strategic investment.

What’s the main change you’ve made in the firm that will benefit clients?

Our firm has evolved into a multidisciplinary legal and advisory platform. Beyond legal advice, clients seek clarity, speed, and strategic insight. To meet these needs, Mylonas Law has built long-standing collaborations with professionals and firms across Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and Asia, ensuring that our clients benefit from seamless cross-border support.

Equally important is the close personal relationship we maintain with our clients. We approach every engagement as a partnership built on trust, transparency, and long-term collaboration. This philosophy has allowed us to act not just as legal counsel, but as an integral part of our clients’ strategic teams, aligned with their long-term goals.

 

Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients, and the services you can provide them?

Technology has become essential in how we work and communicate. It allows us to operate more efficiently and maintain direct, immediate contact with our clients, regardless of geography. Through secure digital platforms, automated processes, and online client collaboration tools, we have strengthened transparency, responsiveness, and the speed of service delivery.

Clients today expect a seamless and informed experience. Technology enables us to provide that, while maintaining confidentiality and precision in every transaction.

 

Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business?

We have successfully structured and negotiated complex M&A and private equity transactions, guided developers through real estate and energy projects, and advised technology and blockchain companies on cross-border investment. In several cases, we have managed to secure and structure projects for our clients generating returns exceeding 20 percent per annum, combining strong legal frameworks with commercially sound deal-making.

Our approach is always guided by the objective of creating lasting value. We focus not only on legal compliance but also on strategic outcomes that enhance our clients’ profitability, growth, and resilience.

Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms – where do you see the firm in three years’ time?

Clients are increasingly looking for law firms that combine legal precision with business vision. At Mylonas Law, we see our role as that of a trusted partner who anticipates change, mitigates risks, and aligns legal advice with long-term business objectives.

Over the next three years, we expect to continue expanding as a cross-border legal and strategic advisory firm, strengthening our presence in shipping, real estate, private equity, and energy. We aim to deepen our cooperation with international investors and family offices while remaining committed to the values that define us: integrity, innovation, and a results-oriented mindset.

Our vision remains consistent since the beginning — to connect the unconnected and deliver value that endures.
