Transport
Having developed a deep understanding of the key developments in this sector, Koutalidis Law Firm provides its clients in the transport industry (including airport operators, port operators, motorways operators and railway cmpanies) with a full range of legal services, supporting them in all steps of implementation of their projects, but covering also their day-to-day advice needs, offering at the same time an insight on recent developments and providing practical and effective legal solutions.
Our advice ranges across all legal disciplines, including primarily concessions, project development and project financing, but also mergers and acquisitions, corporate financing, refinancing and restructuring, as well as debt and equity offerings. Our litigation team has a very strong track record in complex, high-value and often unprecedented legal disputes, both on domestic courts level and in international arbitration fora. We also support our clients in all regulatory and compliance issues, but also in competition matters, complex tax issues, as well as in respect of the areas of real estate, employment and global employee mobility.
Our clientele includes major international and Greek credit and financial institutions, as well as major multinational and domestic companies and enterprises operating in the relevant sectors, such as airport operators and international carriers, as well as construction and real estate development companies. We are engaged in acting both on the lenders’ and on the sponsors’/ contractors’ side in relevant transactions.
