Testimonials

‘KG law holds a unique place in the Greek law firms, it has many departments that each deal with specific areas of law. Each department has a dedicated team of associates and partner(s). I have found them to be all extremely qualified and dedicated to produce a positive outcome for different legal situations. KG as well works with an array of outside counsels both domestically and internationally in order to solve certain steps and to provide the client with a wholistic solution. All the teams and partners are fluent in one or two foreign languages, English foremost. As such, KG offers a very integrated product that is perfectly adapted to international and domestic clients.'
‘I have mostly worked with John Kyriakides, George Siafakas and Anthony Hadjionnou. All three are exceptional lawyers: John for his 360 degree vision and relentless efforts to find solutions to very complex situations. George for his seriousness, scrutiny and Anthony for his thoroughness and drive to win. They have displayed an exceptional level of communication, transparency and results throughout our work together going well beyond the standard.
