As part of our commitment to the community we have recently undertaken the Cyprus aspects of a pro-bono project for Fair Trials International coordinated by Clifford Chance, the international law firm.

Fair Trials International is a global NGO that focuses on protecting people's right to fair trial and the project involved extensive research into the application in Cyprus of Articles 5 and 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which respectively enshrine the right to liberty and security and the right to a fair trial.
