The ‘responsive and knowledgeable’ team at POTAMITISVEKRIS provides ’business-oriented and cost-effective advice’ to creditors and debtors across a range of domestic and multi-jurisdictional new money financings and refinancings. The firm has ‘vast experience in project finance’, regularly advising key stakeholders providing or receiving the funding to facilitate large-scale projects in the country. In this context, the team is noted for its ability to provide ’commercial not purely legalistic solutions’, with Euripides Ioannou often taking the lead on high-profile mandates relating to infrastructure, energy and real estate. Combining ‘great knowledge and technical ability with an ability to deliver results at great speed’, Greek and English law-qualified partner Anthea Terlegas also regularly assists on energy-related project financings and more broadly is noted for her skill at advising on big-ticket cross-border financings. ’Exceptional’ managing partner George Bersis leads from the front, providing ‘commercial, business and solutions-oriented’ advice across a range of financings, including within the real estate space and capital markets, where he has recently been involved for stakeholders on a variety of IPOs listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. Alexander Metallinos is also well regarded for capital markets matters, in addition to NPL securitisations. Senior partner Stathis Potamitis also handles financing and insolvency work as part of his broad-based transactional practice.
