A major part of the services we provide relates to the setting up of companies in Greece and abroad, and the acquisition of existing companies. Services such as these entail a diverse range of legal checks being carried out. The ownership regime of company properties, the company’s legal structure, the existence of licenses required by the regulatory framework within which the company involved in the acquisition or participation operates, the identification of clear and/or hidden encumbrances and commitments, and the employment regime applicable to company employees are all part of this due diligence process. The diverse range of contracts involved in this sector is well-known to the firm. We also provide legal support and advice to foreign companies looking to establish themselves in Greece or continue operations here. In merger and acquisition cases, the law firm represents clients before the Hellenic Competition Commission and the competent administrative courts on issues within the scope of the legal framework designed to safeguard free competition.
