Our litigation practice was built by a former member of the Hellenic judiciary. That origin means we approach commercial disputes analytically — assessing each case the way a court will, identifying the arguments that will actually determine the outcome rather than simply building the strongest possible narrative. Where a settlement serves the business better than a judgment, a commercial litigation lawyer in Athens should say so plainly.
We are recognised for our commercial approach to disputes. We emphasise efficient dispute management and strategic planning — including forum selection and ADR — at every stage. It is our conviction that litigation should be the last resort, pursued only when your commercial objectives genuinely require it and cannot be achieved through negotiation or settlement. An early view on your position costs less than a late one.
"The client's business objectives are our compass. We do not resolve disputes in the abstract — we resolve them in the context of what you are trying to achieve commercially, and what the cost of fighting versus settling actually looks like."
Dionysios Pantazis has represented national and multinational companies — including listed companies and Fortune 500 groups — in multimillion-euro commercial disputes across technology, telecoms, franchise and cargo sectors. That experience of high-stakes, complex litigation informs every instruction we receive.
Judicial origin
Founded by a former judge
Stefanos Pantazis founded this firm after service as a Hellenic judge. We assess commercial disputes the way courts do — distinguishing what will drive the outcome from what will not.
All instances
From first instance to Areios Pagos
We litigate at every level of the Greek court system — from the Monomeles and Polymeles Protodikio through the Efetio courts of appeal to the Areios Pagos.
Dual qualification
Greece and England & Wales
Where a dispute involves questions of English law, we advise on it in-house — no referral required — while representing clients before the Greek courts and international arbitral tribunals.
ADR first
Negotiation, mediation and settlement
We pursue negotiated resolution wherever it serves your interests. Many commercial disputes resolve on favourable terms before proceedings begin — we ensure you have that option properly assessed before any formal step.
