Often preventive measures don’t suffice, as the existence of multiple and conflicting interests leads inevitably to disputes. In that case, it is our job and devoted effort to find the “common ground”, that is, the platform of communication and consensus between parties.

We are expert at negotiating for our clients’ best interests in the pursuit of the appropriate solution in any given case. We help them weigh up their real interests, evaluate their needs and therefore, find their own way towards the resolution, making the right decisions for themselves, instead of passively letting others define their fate.

We believe in and therefore encourage alternative dispute resolution methods, with special emphasis to the institution of mediation.

Mediation constitutes a relatively new method of ADR, widely practiced in the Anglo-Saxon countries, gradually gaining ground among the rest of the western legal systems and expected to flourish in the years to come. Its multiple benefits can be summed up as follows:

1. The parties themselves keep control of the agreement
2. Optional character
3. Secrecy of the procedure
4. Immediate effects
5. Better economic programming
6. Low-cost
7. Flexibility
8. Allows sustainability of interparty relationships and existing cooperation as collateral damages are minimized

When all efforts towards an out of court settlement prove ineffective, litigation is a one-way option.

In that stage, our office handles litigation with maximum diligence, conscientiously and honestly, thus providing our clients with full support through the whole judicial procedure.

Combining legal competence and long experience in litigation, we argue our clients’ case with utmost dedication and perseverance, supporting them through the whole spectrum of trials from the first to the final degree.

The most effective way of handling a problem is prevention. To that end, we ensure through counseling that our clients get all the necessary advice in order to “play safe” and avoid precarious situations.

In this way we provide the proper conditions that favour “smooth” legal relationships, as possible issues are determined at an early stage, while forward-planning brings optimal results in all the domains of both business- and private activity.

Target setting and pursuing with the assistance of a competent legal advisor contributes to a results-orientated focus while minimizing legal costs, wasted otherwise in long litigation procedures.
