Cyprus Bar Association (CBA) – Cyprus Arbitration & Mediation Centre (CAMC) – Cyprus Employers and Industrialists Federation (OEB)

The Cyprus Bar Association (CBA), the Cyprus Arbitration & Mediation Centre (CAMC), and the Cyprus Employers & Industrialists Federation (OEB) are pleased to announce the commencement of their collaboration, united by the shared goal of promoting alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods in Cyprus.

This initiative aims to provide the business community with effective tools for the resolution of commercial and economic disputes, thereby contributing to the country’s economic development and addressing long-standing challenges related to court delays. The overarching objective is to foster a stable and efficient business environment and to enhance Cyprus’s profile as a prominent international investment hub.

As part of this cooperation, it was agreed that OEB will play an active role in the administration and promotion of CAMC of the Cyprus Bar Association. In this context, OEB will be represented on the CAMC Board of Directors by two of its members, marking a significant step toward closer engagement between the legal and business sectors.

The collaboration was formally launched at a joint event held today, March 28, 2025, at OEB’s headquarters in Nicosia. The event was attended by members of the Boards of Directors of the participating organizations, legal professionals, and business representatives affiliated with OEB.

The inclusion of OEB representatives on the CAMC Board underscores the recognition of the Center as a reliable and dynamically evolving dispute resolution institution. It also highlights the critical importance of advancing arbitration and mediation as effective, business-friendly alternatives to litigation. These ADR mechanisms complement the functioning of every modern legal system and are essential for promoting legal certainty and economic resilience.

During the event, a brief presentation was delivered on the services offered by the Cyprus Arbitration & Mediation Centre, followed by the first joint meeting of the newly composed CAMC Board of Directors
