Privatisations
IN THE PAST DECADES OUR FIRM HAS ACQUIRED AND IS CONSTANTLY DEVELOPING VALUABLE KNOW-HOW IN ALL TYPES OF PRIVATISATIONS (SHARE DEALS IN LISTED AND NON-LISTED COMPANIES, ASSET DEALS AND STRATEGIC INVESTOR SCHEMES) IN VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY.
We have been a pioneer in the provision of legal services in the privatisations sector by successfully completing the first privatisation of a state enterprise in Greece (HERACLES Cement Group). We are one of the top choices of major foreign investors as well as of the Greek State for such projects in view of the current market situation favoring privatisations in Greece.
WE MAINTAIN
Excellent cooperation with all the major financial advisors and competent departments of the Greek State and we are able to identify and assess already in the early stages of each privatisation process the "red flag" issues of the transaction, to provide top quality legal support in the course of complex, multi-party negotiations and suggest feasible, mutually beneficial and original solutions on complex legal issues, by applying "out-of-the-box" methods and thinking.
