Harneys announces "best friends" agreement with Aristodemou Loizides Yiolitis & Co.
British Virgin Islands (PRWEB) December 3, 2008 -- Leading http://www.harneys.com [offshore law firm] Harneys has announced a formal "best friends" agreement with Cypriot law firm Aristodemou Loizides Yiolitis & Co. (ALY). The arrangement, characterised by Harneys' partner Peter Tarn as "a major step on the road to establishing a solid presence in Cyprus," will see the two firms not only cross-referring work, but also undertaking joint marketing efforts, sharing office space and seconding lawyers into each other's operations.
Peter Tarn says, "Harneys has placed tremendous emphasis on the development of products and services tailored to BRIC markets over the past few years, and we believe that adding a Cyprus-based tax treaty element will be of great benefit particularly for all our clients, especially those in Russia and India. ALY has an obvious culture of service excellence and we are delighted with the agreement we have reached with them. Being first with an integrated Cayman/BVI/Cyprus service and with the ability to deliver that from Cyprus or London is very exciting and we believe that this relationship will flourish and develop."
ALY partner Pavlos Aristodemou commented that, "Our two firms have an outstanding cultural fit and a great deal to offer each other, both to the benefit of the firms and our clients."
The announcement comes less than two months after the opening of Harneys' Cayman office, and is a clear signal that the once exclusively British Virgin Islands firm is joining the offshore trend of multi-jurisdictional operations.
