Overview

Personal legal matters need
a lawyer who treats them that way.

A death in the family, a road accident, a claim — these are matters that touch a person's life directly, often at a difficult moment. In civil law, as in any personal matter, they call for straight advice and steady judgment alongside the necessary legal technique. They require discretion, direct contact and the personal involvement of an experienced lawyer.

Our firm advises individuals and families across a wide range of personal matters: from contested inheritances and cross-border estates under Greek succession law through to compensation claims arising from road traffic accidents.

We advise individuals and families across a wide range of circumstances: Greek nationals and members of the Greek diaspora, foreign nationals living in or visiting Greece, and road accident victims and their families. Many of our clients have never needed a lawyer before and are dealing with an unfamiliar system at a stressful time. These conversations are confidential from the first call.

Our civil law practice is organised across seven areas, each handled with the same combination of directness and precision. Whether the matter is a contested inheritance, a road traffic accident claim, or one of the related personal matters we handle closely with our Real Estate and Litigation teams — we bring a full-service, firm-wide capability to it.
