Law Offices Patrinos & Kilimiris > Athens, Greece > Firm Profile

Diversity/Community

At Patrinos & Kilimiris diversity, equity and inclusion are central to the internal operations of our law firm as well as to our co-operations.

Our workplace consists of and embraces different cultures, ethnicities and genders.

In recognizing the difficulties a new mother may face, we offer our employees the option of an extended maternity leave, or to more flexible working hours, in order to support them through this transition.

Other ways of ensuring greater diversity of thought behind our business is, by constantly enhancing our talent pool.

Outside of our workplace, we choose to cultivate partnerships and supplier relationships that will promote and improve inclusion and diversity for our clients but that will also set an example for our community regarding business conduct in Greece.

WTR 1000 (2022)

“For over a century, Patrinos & Kilimiris has been relentless in its pursuit of excellence and has never let the quality of its A-to-Z trademark offering slip – thanks in no small part to the hard graft put in by Electra Kilimiris, Maria Kilimiris and Manolis Metaxakis. Through her incisive guidance, foresighted branding strategies and eloquent handling of administrative proceedings, Electra makes the firm a prime destination for wraparound prosecution services; while Maria and Metaxakis form a formidable duo in dispute proceedings. Armed with over 27 years of experience, Maria never falters under pressure and cuts a clear path through the thorniest of litigations. Metaxakis is highlighted as a persuasive presenter of well-crafted arguments and a tough adversary for his opponents.”

IAM PATENT 1000 (2022)

Venerable boutique Patrinos & Kilimiris garners vocal praise from the market: “The team has a deep knowledge of the Greek judicial system and is extremely fast, always helpful and highly efficient at achieving its clients’ desired outcomes.” “The stars of the practice are Constantinos Kilimiris and Manolis Metaxakis, who are really great. They think outside the box, can be reached at any time, and know the courts extremely well. Having them on your side gives you an incredibly valuable advantage.” One noteworthy feature of the ensemble is its proficiency in both prosecution and litigation; the group drafts and files patents with perfect exactitude and acts swiftly and decisively when infringement issues arise. On the contentious front, the team has carved out an outstanding reputation among pharmaceutical innovators from around the world.
