Provided by Sarantitis

SARANTITIS Law Firm has been providing legal services to a wide spectrum of international and domestic clients on a broad range of shipping issues for more than five decades.

The Firm's Piraeus Branch has significant expertise in shipping, ship finance and yachting, advising numerous high profile international and domestic shipping companies, Greek financial institutions and other maritime service providers. It also advises on its everyday operations, one of the leading finished vehicle logistics providers, offering transportation and shipping solutions to manufacturers and shippers of cars and high & heavy cargoes. During this year, the firm was once again entrusted by several shipowners to act as their exclusive legal advisors for the completion of the acquisitions of new building and second-hand vessels, their registration under the Greek or other jurisdiction flags and their financing by international or domestic financial institutions. The firm was also involved in a number of acquisitions of yachts and their registration under the Greek and other European Union flags, as private or professional. Additionally, two major financial institutions entrusted the firm as their legal counsel regarding the granting of new financing and rescheduling/restructuring of existing financings granted to international and domestic ship owning companies and assisted the said financial institutions with all legal issues pertaining thereto.
