Papadimitriou Pimblis & Partners

Partners of the Firm have considerable experience in all aspects of banking law, ranging from the provision of day-to-day legal support to financial institutions (indicatively including issues of regulatory compliance, drafting of general terms of loan and collateral agreements, litigation with clients) to the drafting and negotiating of complex financing and restructuring agreements, handling of NPEs and debt trading. They have also been involved in major banking M&A transactions (including the aborted mergers of Alpha Bank – National Bank of Greece and of Alpha Bank – Eurobank), acquisitions of qualifying holdings in credit institutions, reorganizations of credit institutions, syndicated bond loans, convertible and exchangeable bonds, project finance and acquisition finance.

Over the last few years and because of the financial crisis that has hit Greece, the areas of Restructuring and Insolvency have gained a leading role in the everyday practice of all Corporate & Commercial Law Firms. Our Lawyers have provided legal advice to both ends of the spectrum, i.e. to credit institutions, in their capacity as the majority creditor of almost any insolvent entity, as well as entities in financial distress or insolvency and their existing management and shareholders.
