Noted for its ‘innovative approach’, Platis – Anastassiadis & Associates Law Partnership provides ’solutions-focused and business-grounded advice’ across a range of banking and capital markets matters. Although the firm does handle some transactional work, it is undoubtedly best known for its regulatory prowess, both in conventional banking and fintech-related matters. ‘Responsive, productive, and solutions-oriented’ managing partner Eirinikos Platis has been pivotal to the team's success on the regulatory front and, as well as advising commercial banks, has been instructed by the Greek Ministry of Finance for advice in relation to the four systemic banks, in addition to a recent high-profile mandate regarding the modernisation and strengthening of the country’s capital markets infrastructure. Vassileios Mavrommatis co-heads the team alongside Platis and is noted, in particular, for his NPL knowledge.
