Lambadarios Law Firm
Drawing upon ‘a sound commercial understanding of the market’, Lambadarios Law Firm provides a ’very efficient, pragmatic and solutions-oriented’ service to stakeholders across myriad banking and capital markets transactions. Energy-related project finance is a particular area of strength, with the firm regularly utilising novel financing products and often engaged in negotiations with demanding international sponsors. Team head Prokopis Dimitriadis has been pivotal to work in this space, as has Katerina Gini, with both also excelling in NPL transactions. Constantinos Lambadarios has ‘excellent problem-solving skills’, which he utilises to good effect for lenders on project finance matters, including for the EBRD, which he recently advised, alongside Dimitriadis, on the landmark Greek Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), as part of the ’Greece 2.0’ National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The ‘excellent and hardworking’ Yannis Kourniotis is also recommended.
