Appreciated for its ‘very collaborative’ approach, KLC Law Firm has gained most acclaim in the market for its lender-side work on the funding of large-scale domestic projects, including a number of recent mandates within the hospitality sector. Many of these matters flow from systemic banks, with the firm’s regulatory and transactional expertise coming to the fore in relation to project financing mandates under the country’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). ’Very commercially minded’ managing partner Panagiotis Tzioumas has extensive experience in project finance, debt restructuring and NPL transactions, and also provides ‘significant added value in the context of financing co-granted by state and EU authorities, as well as supranationals’. Evi Dimitropoulou now heads the team and adds weight to the firm’s growing project finance credentials.
