Business lawyer in Greece
A business lawyer in Greece advises a company on the legal side of running it: setting it up and changing its structure, its contracts, its corporate governance, its compliance obligations (such as anti-money laundering, data protection and whistleblowing), its disputes, and transactions such as buying or selling a company or passing it to the next generation. L+A is a business law firm based in Piraeus, with a second office in Alimos, Athens, and works in English and Greek.
In short
Companies in Greece, Greek or foreign, deal with the same set of legal questions year after year: corporate formalities and filings with the General Commercial Registry (ΓΕΜΗ), contracts with customers and suppliers, regulatory obligations, and the occasional dispute or transaction. Working with one firm that already knows the company means that advice starts from context rather than from a blank page.
What a business law firm does
The work L+A does for businesses falls into these areas, each described on its own page:
Company formation and changes: choice of legal form (ΙΚΕ, ΑΕ, ΟΕ), articles of association, share transfers, capital increases, new partners, mergers and conversions.
Contracts: drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts with customers, suppliers, distributors and partners, including IT, software and AI contracts.
Corporate governance: board and general meeting practice, minutes and ΓΕΜΗ filings, shareholder and partner agreements.
Compliance: anti-money laundering, data protection and NIS2, whistleblowing reporting channels, and anti-bribery programmes.
Disputes: shareholder conflicts and commercial disputes, including mediation and arbitration.
Transactions: buying or selling a company or a business, due diligence and the sale agreement.
Inheritance and succession of businesses: planning how a company passes to the next generation.
The work is led by senior lawyers of the firm, who deal with the client directly. The firm works from its headquarters on Akti Miaouli in Piraeus and from Alimos, Athens, in English and Greek, for businesses in Greece and from abroad. Scope and fee are agreed in writing with each client before work starts.
Some companies need a lawyer for one matter, such as a contract, a share transfer or a dispute. Others want a standing relationship: L+A's Proactive Support gives a business a named partner who knows the company, regular reviews and an annual refresh of the Legal Scan. The Legal Scan on its own is a structured review of a company by the criteria an investor or a bank applies.
