Case results
Full Services rendered - from power of attorney and negotiations to Tax Office registration of property - for over 70 years
Real Estate Contracts and Negotiations
Our office does not believe in the segmentation of mandates that are organically a single mandate. Therefore, we are providing full services for conveyancing transactions, including the mandatory due diligence, negotiations, execution of notarial deed, pre-signature administrative necessities such as issuing tax identification numbers and post-signature administrative duties such as inscribing the Deed to the competent Cadastre or Land Registry and filing with the Tax Authorities. We cover private and commercial property, apartments, houses, plots of land, new builds and “under-construction properties” and we specialise in Greek islands properties which often present legal peculiarities. Full service for international clients means everything until our clients secure the property properly and in accordance with all formalities, even if some of those typically fall under the auspices of other professionals such as accountants.
This practice has remained unchanged for over 70 years and with reference to innumerous transactions, including transactions as high as €28,000,000.00 - a figure not common by Greek standards outside of shipping. Similarly, our services extend well after property acquisition into property management, estate planning for Greek situs assets, company structuring if required and litigation if mandated.
Full Services rendered - from securing the investment to issuing the Golden Visa - backed by 70 years of practice in Property Conveyancing and Banking & Finance
Golden Visa
Our office does not believe in the segmentation of mandates that are organically a single mandate. Therefore, we are providing full services for Golden Visa applicants, be it securing the investment by property acquisition or financial instruments, and subsequently filing the application and following the administrative progress. Of course, in addition to usual due diligence performed for property or reviewing the financial instrument contracts, we perform the mandatory audits to confirm that the investment is eligible for the Golden Visa Greece Programme - currently as amended on 21st March 2025. Full service for international clients means everything until our clients secure their Golden Visa, including bringing to their attention their rights and obligations for remaining eligible for the Programme post-issuance.
This is a relatively new service we have provided for the last 10 years the law has been in effect, but Golden Visa is an additional service relying on the pillars of Property Law and Banking & Finance to which we have vast experience. Similarly, our services extend well after securing the Golden Visa into property management within the permitted boundaries of the Programme, estate planning for Greek situs assets and application renewals every 5 years.

Criminal Litigation
Our practice emphasizes white-collar offenses including fraud, embezzlement, breach of trust, and complex financial crimes affecting both domestic and international clients. We provide strategic representation for business executives, professionals, and corporate entities facing economic criminal charges or wrongdoing.
Our experience extends to high-profile criminal organization trials where we have served as defence counsel in complex multi-defendant proceedings involving sophisticated criminal enterprises. These cases require meticulous preparation, comprehensive understanding of criminal procedure and strategic coordination across multiple defendants, with these hearings usually lasting for months.
Whether representing complainants seeking justice or defendants requiring vigorous advocacy, our approach combines thorough legal analysis with practical courtroom experience. We handle cases from preliminary investigation through final appeal, ensuring comprehensive protection of our clients' rights and interests throughout the criminal justice process. This approach – treating everything as potential evidence - has allowed us to elevate our contract drafting to higher levels, as we no longer treat them as simple “agreements” but rather as potential courtroom evidence.
