Six areas, narrowly defined.
The firm is built around Greek real estate. We extend into commercial work where it touches a transaction we are running, and refer everything else out.
01
Real estate acquisitions
Foreign-buyer and domestic acquisitions of Greek property — residential, commercial, and investment-grade. From offer to land-registry inscription.
Read →02

Long-term commercial leasing
Master leases, sale-and-leaseback structures for short-term rental, indexation, capex apportionment, and quiet enforcement when terms turn.

Corporate & cross-border M&A
Company formation, shareholder agreements, inbound foreign investment, bond-loan financing and cross-border restructurings — Greek, Cypriot and UAE holding layers. Often paired with a real-estate leg.
Read →Approach
A transaction in Greece is a sequence, not an event.
Registrations, clearances and translations must close in the right order. We coordinate that sequence so you do not have to.
01
Consultation
A confidential first conversation. We discuss your objective and whether the firm is the right fit.
02
Engagement
An engagement letter is issued. AML and conflict checks are completed. The matter is opened.
03
Execution
Title searches, drafting, translations, registrations — coordinated in the correct sequence.
04
Closure
The transaction closes. We hand over a full bilingual file and remain on call for any sequel.
Instruct counsel
A confidential first conversation.
Every enquiry is read personally. We reply within two business days. Initial consultations carry no charge and no commitment.
