Financial Services
We are particularly experienced in all fields of Financial Services Law, including those pertaining to market participants (e.g., credit institutions, investment firms, insurance companies, collective investment schemes and consumers), the structuring and distribution of financial products (be they banking, investment, insurance or hybrid products), the microstructure of financial markets and the post-trading activities of market participants (e.g., clearing and settlement of transactions and custodian services).
We are also working with and advising Greek and foreign regulated entities (such as credit institutions, investment firms, insurance companies and management companies) active within the local capital market and abroad on the structuring of their business transactions and on how to meet their regulatory obligations. Finally, we maintain close relationships with all relevant Greek authorities and administrations, including the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission and the Bank of Greece.

Dispute resolution within the area of Banking and Finance encompasses the active management of all kinds of disputes that may arise in relation to banking and financial services operations.

We support our clients at all stages of any given dispute, providing accurate legal risk assessment, representing them before the relevant administrative authorities (such as the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission or the Bank of Greece), advising them and representing them before the Greek judicial authorities of all degrees.
