Koutalidis Law Firm sponsored and participated in the second M&A Summit in Athens

As sponsors of this excellent event hosted by Moneyreview, Koutalidis Law Firm was delighted to support yesterday’s summit, which brought together industry leaders to explore the forces shaping the future the Greek M&A landscape.
From fostering ethical decision-making and addressing SME succession challenges, to leveraging technology as a growth enabler and exploring the evolving dynamics of impact investing, the discussions highlighted how M&A continues to be a driving force for economic transformation in Greece and beyond.

Our M&A Partner, Yiannis Loizos, had the privilege of chairing the panel: “Private Equity vs Strategic Buyers: A changing dynamic”.

The panel explored the fascinating convergence of dealmaking strategies — with PE firms increasingly focused on long-term, strategic acquisitions, and corporates embracing financial opportunities and operational turnarounds. This evolving dynamic is reshaping how buyers compete — and collaborate — in the Greek M&A landscape.

Distinguished panelists included:

Neil Campbell, Partner, Latham & Watkins
Andrea Foti, Managing Director – EMEA Chief Commercial Officer, AON
Lampros Papakonstantinou, Executive Chair of the BoD, IDEAL HOLDINGS
Sergios Takos, Partner, Strategy & Transactions, Deloitte Greece

The insights shared will no doubt help shape how we advise our clients in navigating this dynamic market. Many thanks to all participants for the thought-provoking dialogue and to the organizers for bringing together such an exceptional group of M&A professionals.
