About Us

NAP REGULATORY COMPLIANCE SERVICES LTD (“NAP”) has been created having the needs and concerns of the providers of investment services and listed issuers in mind. The majority of the Cypriot Investment Firms (“CIFs”) have been recently licensed and often come across complex issues of regulation and supervision, and listed issuers are faced with ever increasing transparency obligations.  The landscape of the provision of investment services in and from Cyprus is rapidly changing, with the emergence of FX, Automated or Algorithmic Trading, High-Frequency Trading and Binary Trading, between others-developments virtually unknown 10 or even 7 years ago.

NAP, is well placed to provide tailor-made, outsourcing solutions for the compliance function of CIFs and listed issuers in line with the regulatory requirements, and/or provide hands-on, expert advice, not simply on the state of the law, but how can the law be applied on a given situation.  

The lawyers heading our firm, bring a broad perspective and hands-on approach to advising clients, with years of experience and valuable practice gained in working for the securities regulator in Cyprus (CySEC), in in-house legal and compliance positions, advising on CIFs’ and issuers’ compliance and in complex regulatory and transactional matters and appearing in private sector litigation pertaining to the provision of investment services and the capital markets. Our lawyers have kept abreast of the latest developments in the provision of investment services, and the solutions we offer match the nature, scale and complexity of the particular characteristics of the facilities offered by each Investment Firm.

Simply put, our services are not based on a textbook approach, but on years of valuable practice and specialized experience gained from effectively handling real life situations and compliance issues in Cyprus.
