Nikolas Kallenos

Nikolas earned an LLB (Hons) with First Class Honours from Canterbury Christ Church University in 2013 and an LLM in International Law with International Relations (Distinction) from the University of Kent in 2014, where he received the Oxford University Press Prize for academic excellence in the LLM. He was admitted to the Cyprus Bar in January 2016, joined the Firm that same month, and became a Partner in 2025.

Nikolas has substantial constitutional law experience, working closely with Senior Partner Polyvios G. Polyviou and Partner Levon Arakelian, who have represented the House of Representatives before the Supreme Court and the Supreme Constitutional Court in Law Referrals of the President of the Republic under Article 140 of the Constitution and have acted in recourses under Article 139 concerning the separation of powers, constitutional competence and the review of legislation.

Most recently, with Partner Maria Antoniou, he was part of the team led by Senior Partner Polyvios G. Polyviou, who was appointed in his personal capacity by the Supreme Judicial Council to represent it in Objection No. 2/2025 before the Supreme Constitutional Court. The matter concerned a probationary District Judge's non-confirmation and termination of service and attracted considerable public interest.

Alongside his constitutional practice, Nikolas is a civil and commercial litigator with particular expertise in banking and finance disputes, insolvency and restructuring, debt recovery, interim order proceedings and tort disputes. He has extensive advocacy experience before both first-instance and appellate courts. He acts for banks, credit-acquiring and loan-servicing entities, creditors and companies in high-value secured-lending, enforcement, mortgage, land-registry, winding-up, receivership and appellate matters.

His approach is rigorous, practical and strategic. He is fluent in Greek and English.
