Hall of fameKyriakides Georgopoulos Law FirmThe 'well established and very experienced' team at Kyriakides Georgopoulos Law Firm provides 'practical, business-driven solutions' to lenders and borrowers across a myriad new money deals and refinancings, as well as in the context of NPL transactions. The team is, however, probably best-known for its 'unmatched knowledge and expertise in the project finance sector', where the firm stands out for its consistent representation of lenders (including commercial banks and IFIs) providing the financing across a myriad infrastructure and energy projects. Ioanna Antonopoulou and 'highly sophisticated' counsel Angeliki Chalikia are two of the key practitioners for this work, with Antonopoulou also handling some high-profile mandates for Hellenic Financial Stability Fund related to the hive down and capital increases of two of the Greek systemic banks. The 'proactive, insightful, and deeply knowledgeable' Theodore Rakintzis is also a key member of the team as a result of his versatile banking and capital markets offering, while vastly experienced team head Konstantinos Vouterakos is particularly skilled at advising on securities regulation and bond issuances.
