Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Masouros & Partners provides a professional employment law service in Greece and stands ready to advise clients on very complex matters that are at the intersection of M&A and labour law, such as TUPE, post-M&A restructuring, incentive schemes, and employee stock option plans.’

  • ‘Prokopis Iatropoulos stands ready to advise us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even meeting unrealistically tight deadlines given by our clients. He is fast working, always available and very committed to what he does, with expertise in complex labour law matters.’

  • ‘The team, and in particular Pavlos Masouros, have always been very good at synthesising information. As a client, we could easily get overloaded with information and facts, so we have appreciated Pavlos' ability to cut straight to the essentials and enable us to make decisions with agility.’

  • ‘The firm provides a full 24/7 service, and is always prepared to provide advice or give an opinion on an overnight basis. They treat everything as a crisis, so they never slow things down for us. They turn out the best possible piece of work.’

  • ‘They advise in relation to consultations with employees and trade unions ahead of a deal or after a takeover, and handle the difficult stuff - dealing with the unions and with scared employees. We've seen them do that in a couple of instances with immense respect for the companies' human capital, for the employees and also with monumental knowledge of the nuts and bolts of this niche area with labour law.’

  • ‘Prokopis Iatropoulos is quick, kind, respectful and has a lot of expertise in labour law matters.’

  • ‘Prokopis Iatropoulos is the person we go to first when we have an employment law issue. He is an excellent lawyer and we trust him fully.’

  • 'The team is always available and responsive. We have observed that over the course of the past year, while their activity has increased, they have maintained the same level of exceptional responsiveness.'
