AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Corporate – Commercial – Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)

We advise small, medium and large corporations of any industry on all aspects of corporate transactions including corporate establishments, legal due diligence, mergers and acquisitions, business restructurings, as well as on the drafting, negotiation, legal structuring, implementation and legal enforcement of commercial contracts.

Our established practice also involves providing regular advice as legal counsel to domestic and international players active in the Greek market in connection with the day-to-day running of their business operations in Greece.

Our daily practice focuses on company incorporation and organization, establishment of Greek subsidiaries and branches of foreign corporations, company housekeeping and corporate governance, compliance with applicable company rules, regulatory requirements and formalities, drafting, negotiating and advising on implementation and legal compliance aspects of complex commercial contracts, legal due diligence in connection with corporate takeovers and share purchase agreements, restructuring, insolvency and liquidation of companies and corporate groups.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Our practice has a strong track record for successfully representing our client base in major civil, administrative, commercial and corporate crime disputes.

We take a constructive approach to resolving disputes, averting litigation where this is feasible. We view litigation as part of an overall strategy to help our clients to deal with the issues affecting their business.

We believe that the best litigation results — whether achieved in court or across the bargaining table — occur when the lawyers are fully prepared to try the case through verdict. Our focus on trial-readiness drives successful and more cost-efficient results for clients, as critical issues are identified early and then used to maximum advantage in the litigation and negotiation processes.

Real Estate & Construction

Real estate is a core area for us. Our real estate team is trusted by individual investors, private equity funds, investment advisors, fund sponsors, real estate developers, lenders, and domestic and international companies to handle their most important real estate matters.

What we offer is simple: an experienced team that understands your business and can handle all of your real estate related needs effectively and efficiently, combining real estate experience, modern industry insights and deep knowledge of all legal matters related.

So far, we have advised on several/numerous multimillion investments in Greece, addressing and solving complex legal matters involved, and, in parallel, we keep advising our clients on their day-to-day corporate life.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Increasingly, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are becoming core business priorities for companies, their boards, and their investors, as the climate emergency and the imperative social issues have catalysed significant regulatory and structural changes in markets, positioning ESG at the top of the board agenda.

We provide our clients with sophisticated, multidisciplinary advice and state-of-the-art market intelligence as they navigate the opportunities, compliance obligations and legal risks related to ESG and impact investing across the investment and operational life cycles.
