Our services are used by businesses, individuals, and non-profit organizations. The following are just some of the ways in which we are different from other legal firms.
Why Choose Us?
From our first contact with our client through all the necessary legal steps we provide, there are a wide range of smaller yet essential issues that build a relationship between client and attorney. Because we work primarily with foreign clients we are able to anticipate the varied needs of our clients such as:
- drafting specific limited Powers of Attorney for many legal issues that may impact our clients, in English and provide our own legal translations.
- Specific knowledge of what is needed for our foreign clients to present to administrative offices or the Greek Courts
- Walk our clients through the steps to certify all foreign documents so that they meet the requirements of the Greek Courts and administrative offices
- To also determine how certain documents translate across borders, and how that can impact our clients
- Our ability to interact with any Greek Court, Greek Governmental agency, aministrative office, bank or other entity on behalf of our clients so that we may expedite their needs in Greece
Additionally:
- We are here on site in Greece, accessible by email or phone to address all of your legal concerns. Our offices are located in downtown Athens.
- We regard each client with particular care and interest. To us, you are not just a job or a number.
- We provide detailed explanations of the process, procedures and requirements, once retained, so that our clients understand how we can help them, or what the Greek state requires of them.
- We are willing to travel anywhere accessible in Greece to address our client's needs.
- We have a certified Greek/English translator located on site in our law-offices, as a bad translation of a foreign document can seriously impact a client's case.
- We have both Greek Attorneys and an American Attorney in our offices, as sometimes communication across cultural and legal boundaries break down. We can see and clarify the differences. We can also conduct research in Common Law jurisdictions and well as Civil Law jurisdictions, such as Greece.
- We can draft memoranda. If your legal issue requires a formal memo to be presented in a foreign Court (US, Canada, Australia), for purposes such as: declaring marital assets, or to outline aspects of Greek Civil Law, or to analyze the status of an estate, etc., we have provided numerous memoranda for our clients to be used abroad in foreign Courts.
- We draft our own Powers of Attorney in English, depending on what Powers we need here to meet your needs. We then walk you through the process of making that document legal here in Greece for us to use.
- We understand how difficult it is to retain an attorney long distance and to form a trustworthy relationship. We are answerable to our Bars in both Greece and the US to provide professional services held to the strict ethical standards of our Legal Bar Associations.
