Apostolos Gkoutzinis is one of the most widely respected advisers in his field globally. Focusing on US securities laws and international debt and equity offerings, he covers an exceptionally broad practice across international corporate, capital markets and finance transactions. His experience includes advising on IPOs, international rights offerings and other equity offerings, high-yield and investment-grade bond offerings and private placements, large acquisition financings, tender offers and other liability management exercises, M&A transactions, NPL portfolio sales, restructurings, recapitalizations and privatizations.

His track record on post-financial crisis Greek deals is unsurpassed, providing strategic legal advice to most of the major financial and strategic investors in Greece and most of the major banks and listed companies of the country. As well as advising private companies and foreign investors on matters involving private and public capital, restructurings and refinancings, since 2005, Apostolos has also represented the issuers or the underwriters in most of the international and cross-border equity and debt offerings by Greek issuers.
