Working with clients from all over the world, Scordis is mostly impressed by the professionalism, dedication and drive of both the legal profession and the business world in Israel. “On the corporate side, our clients range from private individuals to an Israeli state-owned entity that is involved in a Cyprus-Israeli venture in desalination plants in Cyprus” he highlighted.

As an EU member state and Eurozone member, Cyprus provides a gateway to Europe for Israeli investors to access the European markets. The country’s stable business environment and its advantageous EU-approved tax regime make it an attractive jurisdiction. Cyprus has one of the lowest corporation tax rates among EU member states and foreign-sourced dividends are generally exempt from tax upon receipt by a Cyprus tax resident company. This coupled with the new government incentives to encourage foreign investment, is facilitating headquartering in sectors such as technology, asset management, investment funds, higher education, shipping and film industry. Cyprus’s appeal as a convenient headquartering jurisdiction is gaining momentum, a notable example is the Israeli Fattal Hotel group, currently building its fifth Leonardo hotel in Cyprus.
