This innovative move has catapulted their M&A capabilities to unprecedented heights, solidifying their position as a leader in the field.’
‘The true star in this firm is the founder and managing partner, Pavlos Masouros. He is a one-of-a-kind lawyer, a true M&A legend. He's astonishingly quick in turning around documents and puts in hands on work in the deals. He has tremendous legal skill, is very knowledgeable and it helps a lot that he is truly respected in the market by his peers; makes deals much easier as other party's lawyers respect him in negotiations.'
‘Pavlos Masouros: high quality professional with deep knowledge on M&As and ability to diversify according to the requirements of the transactions. Capable to work in both languages (EN & GR) under the same high quality. Antonis Nikolaidis: a highly motivated young professional to rely on, responsive, polite.’
‘Pavlos Masouros is the standout person here. A legal genius, one of the sharpest minds I have ever encountered.'
‘The biggest asset for this M&A team is how quick they are and the impeccable command of the English language that they possess, especially partner Pavlos Masouros. He is a very reputable M&A lawyer locally and essentially what many consider an authority in M&A, but also in corporate litigation, where he is the author of a widely used corporate litigation practitioners' textbook.'
