Tassos Papadopoulos and Associates LLC has established itself as one of the leading law firms in Cyprus. When the late Tassos Papadopoulos founded the firm in 1970, on Sofouli Street in Nicosia, the office operated with only himself and a secretary - a typical lawyer’s office of that time. In 1981, Tassos Papadopoulos established the partnership Tassos Papadopoulos & Co which dissolved in 2007. The majority of the partners from the dissolved partnership thereafter proceeded to establish the partnership Tassos Papadopoulos & Associates and the law firm, Tassos Papadopoulos &Associates LLC. In July 2016 the firm moved its offices to new modern premises in the Jason Building, on 10 Iasonos Street, which meet the needs of both clients and personnel, with improved and immediate client service in mind.
