Lambadarios Law Firm provides 'client-focused solutions' to a lender-focused client base across a wide range of loan and capital markets products to facilitate an eclectic mix of corporate and project related activity. Although the firm has also picked up an increasing flow of mandates for international banks and development banks, it remains most active for the four systemic Greek banks, including in the context of providing the financing to facilitate some major infrastructure and energy-related projects in the country. Key to the team's success in this space is the work of Yannis Kourniotis, who excels at handling financing throughout the life-cycle of a project, including those structured according to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). Notably he recently worked alongside the 'business-oriented' Konstantina Siozou on behalf of all four systemic banks providing a €710m corporate facility to the Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator. The 'highly experienced and diligent' Prokopis Dimitriadis has 'in depth knowledge of the market specifics', and as well as handling a considerable volume of capital markets matters has also been at the forefront of the firm's efforts in relation to the secondary market for NPLs. Praised for his 'acute commercial thinking', which often manifests itself in the delivery of 'outside-of-the box solutions', Constantinos Lambadarios is also a key member of the team and co-heads the practice alongside Kourniotis, Siozou and Dimitriadis.
