Areas of Legal Support and Expertise
Company Formation & Restructuring
We provide specialized legal services for company formation and restructuring, covering all necessary stages and required actions. From the selection of the appropriate legal form (PC, GP, LLC, SA), based on the strategic and tax-related needs of the business, to the completion of the establishment through GEMI and Public Services, we ensure speed, accuracy, and legal security.
At the same time, we guide businesses through every type of corporate transformation, such as mergers, absorptions, spin-offs, and conversions, ensuring full compliance with the current legal framework and minimization of legal and tax risks. Our support includes the drafting of articles of association, board minutes, notarial deeds, and representation before all competent authorities. We invest in detail and prevention so that your company builds solid foundations from day one of operation.
Corporate Governance & Regulatory Frameworks
We offer targeted legal guidance for the design and strengthening of corporate governance systems, in line with best practices and the legal requirements of the Greek and European markets. We undertake the drafting and revision of internal regulations, compliance policies, organizational structures, and control mechanisms, ensuring operational transparency, accountability, and legal certainty.
In parallel, we provide specialized legal services for optimizing the operation of Boards of Directors, regulating the rights and obligations of shareholders or partners, as well as managing intra-company disputes. Our aim is to shield your corporate structure with institutional coherence and clarity, building the foundation for sustainable development and investment credibility.
