Introductory Remarks and Scope of Application
This website constitutes the official online presence of our law firm, which has been lawfully established and operates in Greece and is governed by the provisions of Presidential Decree 81/2005 on law firms, in conjunction with Law 4194/2013 ratifying the Code of Lawyers, as such legislative instruments are currently in force and applied. Browsing, remaining on, and in any manner using the functions and content of this website presupposes the prior, full, unconditional, and express acceptance of these Terms of Use by each visitor. Any user who disagrees, in whole or in part, with these rules is required to leave the website immediately and to cease permanently any further use of the information or digital tools made available through it.
Nature of the Information Provided and Disclaimer of Legal Advice
The informational material posted and maintained on this website, including articles on legal issues, commentary on current case law, newsletters, and any other form of legal writing, has been prepared solely for the general information of the public on legal matters. Such texts are provided for general informational purposes only and may under no circumstances be construed, misinterpreted, or applied as individualized legal, tax, or other professional advice. Any communication between a visitor and the members, partners, associates, or administrative staff of our firm through electronic contact forms or direct electronic messages does not establish, imply, or give rise, under any circumstances, to a lawyer-client relationship. The commencement of a valid and legally binding client relationship presupposes an express agreement for the undertaking of representation. Accordingly, our firm expressly disclaims any form of civil, criminal, or other liability for any act or omission on the part of a visitor who may choose to rely on information made available through this website.
Limitation and Exclusion of Liability
Our law firm makes every reasonable effort to ensure that all information displayed on this website is accurate, clear, and legally up to date. Nevertheless, no representation, warranty, or guarantee, whether express or implied, is given as to the correctness, completeness, usefulness, or uninterrupted availability of such information. Any user who chooses to rely upon and make use of such online material does so at his or her sole risk and on the basis of his or her own free choice. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our firm, including its lawyers, trainee lawyers, and all categories of administrative and technical personnel, shall bear no liability for any indirect or consequential damage that may be connected with access to or use of the website. This exclusion of liability expressly includes any damage to the visitor’s software or hardware arising from malicious software, viruses, trojans, or other technological threats encountered while browsing within our online environment.
Intellectual Property Regime
The content of this website as a whole, including, indicatively and without limitation, legal texts, scholarly analyses, digital design, layout, graphics, logos, trademarks, images, and audiovisual material in general, constitutes the exclusive intellectual and industrial property of our law firm. Such content is protected by the provisions of Law 2121/1993 on intellectual property and Law 4679/2020 on trademarks, as well as by all applicable European Union and international legal rules. Any copying, reproduction, republication, posting, transmission, modification, adaptation, or commercial exploitation of any part of the website, by any means or technical method whatsoever, is strictly prohibited without the prior, express, and written consent of the lawful representatives of the firm.

Links to Third-Party Websites
Our digital platform may, solely for the convenience, fuller information, and service of its readers, contain electronic references, advertising frames, and hyperlinks redirecting visitors to websites controlled, managed, and owned by third-party natural or legal persons. Since our law firm exercises no control over the technical structure, lawfulness, privacy policy, security, or content of such external websites, it expressly and categorically disclaims any related liability. A visitor’s access to third-party websites takes place at his or her sole responsibility, and visitors are strongly advised to study carefully the independent terms of use and privacy statements governing such external platforms. Our law firm bears no responsibility for the content, privacy policy, security, or operation of third-party websites to which this website may refer.
Accessibility and Availability of Services
Our firm makes reasonable technical and organizational efforts to keep the website, to the extent possible, accessible and functional for all users, including persons with disabilities or functional limitations. Nevertheless, the firm reserves the unconditional right to intervene in, upgrade, deactivate, or discontinue, whether temporarily or permanently, the operation of the website in whole or in part, at any time and without any obligation of prior notice to the public, particularly where this is required by compelling reasons of routine server maintenance, security upgrades, or unforeseen events of force majeure.
Applicable Law, Dispute Resolution, and Jurisdiction
All regulatory provisions comprising these Terms of Use, together with any future amendments, changes, or additions thereto, shall be governed as a whole, regulated, and interpreted in accordance with Greek substantive and procedural law, while also dynamically incorporating the applicable law of the European Union. In the event that any provision hereof is held by a competent judicial authority to be directly contrary to mandatory legal provisions or otherwise becomes legally unenforceable, such provision shall be severed automatically, without its invalidity affecting, impairing, or undermining in any way the validity, lawfulness, and immediate enforceability of the remaining contractual terms. For the final resolution of any dispute, controversy, or claim that may arise out of the use of this website or that may relate directly or indirectly to the interpretation and application of these rules, the courts of Athens having subject-matter jurisdiction shall have exclusive territorial jurisdiction.
Amendment and Updating of the Terms of Use
Our law firm reserves the exclusive right to revise, update, and amend these Terms unilaterally whenever deemed necessary. Any such amendment shall enter into immediate, binding, and full effect from the very moment the revised text is posted on this website. Visitors bear the legal burden and responsibility of reviewing the contents of this page at regular intervals in order to remain timely informed of any changes. Continued use of the website following the publication of such amendments shall constitute acceptance of the updated Terms of Use.
