Law Firms - Cyprus Bar Association Membership

[BedotheCreak]

Hi,

Is there a legal requirement for lawyers practicing in Cyprus to be a member of the Cyprus Bar Association?

I know that the British High Commission list includes lawyer that are registered with the Cyprus Bar Association.

In the event that you use a lawyer who is not registered, how do you complain if the layer does not fulfill their responsibilities to the client?

I'm not sure if it's a legal requirement, but all practising lawyers should be members of the Cyprus Bar Association.

There is no-one you can complain to - you'll have to sue.
