Company Profile & Lawyers

No one today may contest the accumulation of law material is to such an extent that the complete knowledge of that material is impossible to be acquired by only one person. Indeed, the historical evolution of human society and the challenges for juridical regulations it implies have already added to Graeco-Roman law, the basis of our modern law, a huge amount of law material that rendered specialisation necessary. Special mention must be given to one of the recent parts of the above historical evolution: the globalisation of society that has established international sources of law and accordingly international law, whose implementation into domestic- national legal order in many cases is direct and requires no involvement of the domestic legislator ( either because that is expressly provided by domestic law, either through the influence of the former to the interpretation of the latter). So, modern jurists must not only be informed about internal developments but also about international ones.

Originally, our law firm was created from a multi-year collaboration of its two main partners, Sotiriadis Sotirios and Bata Areti, of which the first is responsible for the wider area of public law and the second for private ( for classification of law both in civil or continental legal systems and in common or case law ones,  see to introductory explanations on our specialisation” on this site).   Our collaboration, realising the modern need for specialisation, has already expanded all over Greece, involving more experts in law areas, with the aim not only of territorial coverage but mainly of a scientific one.

 Indeed, the modern technology of information and communication made this scientific cooperation operable, while the modern requirements of legal services made it necessary.  This necessity of invariable collaboration among specialized lawyers is dealt with in our topic “Introductory explanations on our specialisation”.

Today, we may provide you with legal services of high quality,    in an organised, systematic, and specified way, wherever you are in the world.   

Our law firm, having its registered address in Thessaloniki, the second town of Greece, at dodecanisou 22 street, PC 54626, may help you if your case or issue concerns the Greek courts or authorities or even those of English or French-spoken countries.
