Also, there is a very collegiate atmosphere across all levels of seniority making communication with in-house counsel easier and more efficient. Finally, what makes this law firm unique vis-a-vis other Greek law firms is its DE&I focus manifested not only in female representation (majority of partners are women) but also in its program of social responsibility, spanning from various benefits provided to its employees to the charity actions and awareness raising events it organises.’
‘I consider Vasiliki Salaka one of the most experienced litigators in Greece. What makes her different from competitors is that she expresses her advice with firmness giving the necessary comfort to client to proceed on her advice.

All her team members we have worked with in the past were very professional and knowledgeable. ’
