4 April 2025

We are delighted to announce that Theo Antoniou, Founding Partner of Spencer West Cyprus, has been recognised as one of Citywealth’s Top 30 Advisors and Managers in Cyprus for 2025.

This prestigious accolade highlights Theo’s expertise in corporate and tax structuring, wealth planning, and financial services, as well as his dedication to delivering world-class legal solutions for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, and businesses.

Citywealth’s Leaders List is an independently verified directory that showcases the world’s top wealth professionals, providing ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) with trusted advisors across key financial and legal sectors. The selection process involves peer and client recommendations, ensuring that each professional listed has been thoroughly vetted and recognised for their excellence.

As the Founding Partner of Spencer West in Cyprus, Theo has played a pivotal role in establishing and expanding the firm’s presence in the region. His leadership has positioned Spencer West Cyprus as a premier destination for clients seeking expert guidance on cross-border transactions, tax structuring, and private wealth planning.

Upon receiving the honour, Theo shared his insights into his approach and reflected on his role.

“Beyond advising clients, I focus on expanding our Cyprus office and ensuring that we deliver tailored legal solutions that address complex international business needs. Our team’s strength lies in our ability to provide seamless, multi-jurisdictional legal and tax solutions.”

Theo’s work has been instrumental in helping clients navigate tax optimization strategies, particularly in light of recent changes to UK non-domicile tax regulations. His expertise in structuring corporate entities, investment funds, and trusts has made him a sought-after advisor for international entrepreneurs and investors looking to maximise efficiency within a compliant legal framework.

Theo highlighted the successful launch of Spencer West Cyprus and its contribution to the firm’s global growth as his proudest professional achievement.

“Unlike traditional law firms, we bring an international mindset that elevates the legal market in Cyprus. Our ability to provide cross-border solutions sets us apart and ensures our clients receive best-in-class legal services.”

Theo’s recognition by Citywealth underscores his commitment to excellence, leadership, and client-centric service. His expertise and strategic vision continue to drive Spencer West Cyprus forward, reinforcing its reputation as a leading international law firm.

We extend our congratulations to Theo on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing his continued impact on the industry.
