Arbitration, Litigation & Mediation

Dispute resolution has always been a major concern for stakeholders in every commercial transaction. The ever-increasing transnational nature of the disputes, has made the field all the more complex and challenging. Our capacity to understand our clients’ business models and economic drivers is one of the things that sets Koutalidis Law Firm apart and ahead of the competition, allowing us to offer pragmatic, tailor-made solutions to our clients. Either by fiercely adjudicating cases before the Greek courts, arguing before international panels and arbitral tribunals, or achieving high-value settlements through negotiation or mediation, our lawyers always strive to achieve the best possible outcome for our diverse client base.

Aiming at providing services of no less than excellent quality, we work in concise and flexible teams, always with the involvement of a partner, with the participation of all team members in the planning of strategy and in the review of the documents drafted, exchanging a variety of views to reach an in-depth understanding of each case. Our teams, possessing a strong academic background, leave no document to exit Koutalidis Law Firm either addressed to clients or to courts/tribunals, without having exhausted the available case law and theory sources. Our persistence to detail both in relation to the content, as well as to the stylistic and linguistic perspectives is our way to show our respect to the client.

Our day-to-day contact with our international clients and their local business, as applicable, has helped the Arbitration, Litigation & Mediation team to fully understand our clients’ needs from a commercial point of view and adjust the approach respectively, when negotiating and/or resolving a dispute. Having in mind the objectives of the client, the need to combine the business approach with the legal clarity, as well as the weaknesses of the Greek Civil Procedural Law, our goal has always been to provide the client with the best possible strategy to safeguard its interests timely and effectively. Our diligence is not only reflected in our success rates, but also -and maybe most importantly- in our longstanding relationships with our clients.

Since most of the relevant cases we handle present very challenging and complicated technical and financial aspects, our team has developed significant expertise and acquired extensive experience in understanding such technical and financial issues and in presenting them in a concise, persuasive and effective way before the courts and the arbitral tribunals.

We are also well accustomed in collaborating efficiently with international law firms.

Our firm is currently handling a substantial number of high value and very complicated and challenging court cases before all instances and a very significant number of arbitrations (most of them international). The average value of amount in dispute in each of those court cases and arbitrations is well over 10 million Euros.
