(Next Generation Partners)The ‘commercial’ team at Zepos & Yannopoulos has ‘deep knowledge’ across a broad range of banking and finance work, ensuring that it is well positioned to advise lenders, funds and corporates across a myriad of transactional and regulatory work, including often complex, highly structured mandates. ‘Up to date with current developments‘, the firm has been at the vanguard of securitisation work, including as a means to monetise the systemic banks’ NPL exposure. In this regard, Christina Papanikolopoulou has been somewhat of a trailblazer, delivering ‘exceptional advice on the most complex deals’, including her recent work for Intrum on all aspects of Greek law regarding Project Senna, the latest NPL securitisation transaction originated by Piraeus Bank. The ‘responsive and very knowledgeable‘ Elena Papachristou is also a key member of the team, both for financial services regulatory work and debt and equity capital markets matters.
