Our practice and legal services are oriented to the following principles

Expertise and legal innovations: During the past ten years we have developed innovative skills and expertise in commercial law, through a team of legal practitioners who devote themselves to what they do best, consultation and litigation. We were the first to introduce innovative legal methods and strategies, particularly in the fields of parallel imports, counterfeit and pirated products. Some of the more important antitrust and trademark court cases that were reported in Greek law reports were successfully handled through our law firm. For example, we were the first to persuade Greek courts to apply modern legal theories like the ‘reverse confusion’ theory and the ‘initial interest confusion’ theory.

Assimilation of clients’ corporate practices: We work with a number of multinational enterprises with different approaches to their legal affairs. We are used to adopt and apply the corporate policies, practices and strategies of each client.

Cost effectiveness: Our long and well developed expertise allows us to offer our client high quality services on favorable and cost effective terms. We are proud to be able to offer our clients the most cost effective prices within Greece, without affecting the quality of our legal services. We, thus, enable clients to enhance legal protection and economize expenditures at the same time.

Network of foreign branch offices: We closely cooperate with a network of highly specialized offices of commercial law in the Balkans and East European countries. This allows our clients to manage their legal cases more efficiently in the geographic area where we are active.

Exclusivity and absence of conflict of interest: Regarding intellectual property cases, we cooperate on a strictly exclusive basis with only one client from each market sector, so as to make sure that our clients’ strategies and trade secrets are well protected. Until today, our clients cover the sectors of foods and non alcoholic beverages, media and entertainment services, slimming and hygienic services, as well as hospital and medical care services. We can expand our exclusive cooperation with clients dealing with alcoholic beverages, tobacco, electronics, computer software and hardware, athletics, fashion, etc.
