Mary Nigritinou

Practice Areas

Mary joined our team in 2013 and has been at the forefront of complex transactions with international aspects. Her focus is on loan sale transactions, and she has been involved in the sale of loans from all Greek systemic banks, both through securitisation (including securitisations benefiting from the HAPS guarantee) and direct sales, representing either the seller or the buyer. In this respect, Mary was involved in the first NPL securitisation of a Greek systemic bank, and numerous subsequent NPL securitisations, and in the secondary sales of NPL portfolios serviced by one of the largest Greek servicers. Mary also brings extensive experience in financial institutions M&A; notably, she worked on the carve-out of a systemic bank’s call center operations and its subsequent sale to a third-party investor. Another highlight of Mary’s practise is her involvement in the recapitalisation of two major Greek banks, during the Greek financial crisis. Finally, she recently advised a systemic bank on the issuance of covered bonds under the newly applicable (2023) EU directive on covered bonds (2019/2162), as incorporated into Greek law.
