Since we have covered your core services (Mergers, Cartels, Abuse of Dominance, State Aid, FDI, and Litigation), the next essential “article” for your site is Competition Compliance & Training.
In 2026, the Cyprus Commission for the Protection of Competition (CPC) is increasingly focused on proactive compliance. This page is vital because it shifts your business from being a “reactive” consultant (hired after trouble starts) to a “proactive” partner (hired for prevention).
Proactive strategies to mitigate risk and foster a culture of competition compliance.
In an environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny and the risk of record-breaking fines — up to 10% of annual turnover — waiting for a CPC investigation is no longer a viable strategy. Trojan Economics helps businesses and organisations navigate the complexities of Law 13(I)/2022 through tailored compliance programs that align commercial objectives with legal requirements.
We go beyond standard legal checklists by integrating economic logic into compliance, helping your team identify “hidden” risks in pricing, distribution, and information exchange before they trigger regulatory intervention.

Why Invest in Compliance Now?
-
Leniency Advantages: A robust compliance program may facilitate the early identification of issues, enabling participation in the CPC’s Leniency Program and potentially securing 100% immunity from fines.
-
Mitigating Fines: While a compliance program does not provide a “get out of jail free” card, demonstrating a genuine culture of compliance is often viewed favourably by authorities during settlement negotiations.
-
Commercial Certainty: Clear internal guidelines empower your sales and commercial teams to compete aggressively without fear of accidental legal breaches.
