Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘We have worked with Panagiotis Tzioumas in various cases, with great outcomes. He is an experienced litigator, with in-depth market, business and case law knowledge. He has exceptional communication skills, and he is an impressive strategic thinker, like no one I have ever worked with before. He can spot and solve problems, before or after they occur.’
‘Aristides Chiotellis is a highly regarded professor and practitioner who, due to his broad knowledge of German and Greek civil law and case law, will always try to find the solution, argument or defence path to maximise the chances of a favourable outcome in litigation. Theodore Loukopoulos is very knowledgeable specifically in the pharmaceutical sector, which gives us a significant advantage in related litigation or pre-litigation negotiations.’
‘The team is very efficient and hardworking. Billing is sensible and their collaboration with the client is prompt and on a 24/7 basis.’
‘Theodore Loukopoulos stands out as he is well aware not only of the legal issues in the pharmaceuticals and health science sector, but also of the business and the way the things work. This is a significant difference with other colleagues of other law firms who often stick to the legal aspects without taking into consideration the business aspects of the cases they deal with.’
‘Panayiotis Tzioumas is an exceptional lawyer. He is easily accessible, friendly and approachable. He has unique legal acumen and outstanding commercial understanding. He grasps nuanced legal questions instantly and clearly distils the essence of complex facts. He has great command of both the Greek and English languages. He is a problem solver.’
‘Panagiotis Tzioumas is our go-to-lawyer in Greece for international arbitration. He is a great strategist and advocate.’
‘Theodore Loukopoulos is savvy about the pharma industry and provides holistic and sound advice. Theodore is a reliable business partner, an effective team leader, and remains always actively engaged in the cases assigned, demonstrating a proven track record of successes in court. Georgia Stavropoulou is a strong litigator, who displays attention to detail, bringing energy and conviction to the cases she handles.’
‘KLC Law Firm has very talented people in its dispute resolution team. They are fully engaged in their client's case and achieve remarkable results, even in very challenging cases.’
