DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Our underlying philosophy is to strengthen the negotiating position of our principals in a preemptive way. For this reason, our litigation team works hand-in-hand with our corporate, transactional and regulatory lawyers.
Taking into account our clients’ best interests, we support alternative means of dispute resolution, being particularly adept at negotiating out of court and reaching win-win settlement agreements.

Our firm is proud to have steadily rendered legal services throughout the region: from the first steps of the private equity pioneers in Greece to complex and demanding transactions all over South-Eastern Europe, we have been there to advise and guide our clients.

In this way, we offer advice in the legal field, always bearing in mind the business implications and aiming to realize the objectives of our principals. In our view, there is no clear distinction between “business issues” and “legal issues”. The big picture is what matters — and we are here to make it happen.
