Our Litigation & Arbitration practice is both national and international in scope. We regularly represent Greek and international clients in major arbitrations, alternative dispute resolution proceedings and lawsuits in such diverse legal areas as securities, antitrust, torts, insurance coverage, banking and commercial disputes, handling all trial levels from first instance courts to Supreme Court.

The team acts for multinational groups, financial institutions, technology companies, healthcare and life sciences businesses, industrial clients, energy investors and public-sector counterparties. Our work combines courtroom advocacy, strategic case management and commercial understanding, allowing us to handle disputes where legal, financial, operational and reputational risks must be managed together.

Our practice is particularly active in commercial and distribution disputes, banking and investor claims, public procurement and administrative litigation, shareholder and governance disputes, employment and senior executive litigation, energy and project- related disputes, unfair competition, enforcement proceedings and white-collar / regulatory matters.
