LAWYERS MEET EXPATS
B2B EVENT 2024
----------------------------------
Since 2014, BEST LEGAL Conference is organised in Limassol, bringing together partners from local and international legal firms, corporate lawyers, founders and managers of international companies based in Cyprus, and C-level executives from at least 10 countries.

This year, BEST LEGAL celebrates its 10th edition. BEST LEGAL 2024 will have an unusual format: an UNconference. We expect an equal number of local and foreign professionals living in Cyprus. The C-level expats will share with lawyers the problems international businesses face in Cyprus, and partners of local legal firms will share their thoughts on how to solve these problems.

The conference is conducted in English and usually it is accredited with 4 CPD units from Cyprus Bar Association.
