The firm has a long and successful track record in dispute resolution, including the handling of all types of litigation, such as civil, commercial, employment, real estate, banking and criminal, before the Courts of all instances, representing prominent international and domestic clientele, such as the major international banking institutions HSBC Private Bank (Suisse) S.A., the Greek Branch of HSBC Plc and the Hellenic Shipyards and very often cooperating with international law firms in this respect. In particular, due to the size and nature of business of our clientele, our firm has consistently handled over the last twenty years, a remarkable number of highly complex litigation cases, the object of many of which were brought before the Greek Courts for the first time, thus leading in many cases, to “pioneer” jurisprudence.
