About

Hellas Gold, the Greek subsidiary of the listed Canadian mining company Eldorado Gold Corporation, is active in exploration and exploitation of gold, copper and other minerals, implementing one of the largest direct foreign investments in Greece. The operations of Hellas Gold are supported on a daily basis by an experienced and effective local legal team headed by Nassos Felonis. Felonis is legal team head, and was described by nominating sources as an individual ‘who possesses excellent management skills and an impressive background with decades of experience and unparalleled expertise in the mining industry’. The source was similarly complimentary regarding the skills of the rest of the team: ‘We have closely cooperated with Hellas Gold’s legal team and can testify first hand of the outstanding work performed by the team and Nassos Felonis personally, having to deal with complex legal and regulatory issues but also with a very demanding and politically sensitive business sector calling for business approach and acute communication skills over and above legal expertise’. Clearly, the Hellas Gold legal team is among the foremost legal functions operating in the region and it thoroughly deserves such plaudits.
