Maritime
For more than fifty years, this firm has advised international maritime interests from Piraeus — one of the world’s principal shipping centres. Our maritime practice draws on that heritage, combined with a dual qualification in Greek and English law of our partner Alkisti A. Pasipoularidou that lets us advise with equal fluency on Greek law matters and on the English law that so much of shipping business runs on.
