Abreast of the rapidly evolving legislative/procedural landscape in the insolvency field since the Greek debt crisis of 2008, the ‘collaborative, diligent and client oriented’ team at Platis – Anastassiadis & Associates Law Partnership is well-positioned to advise debtors, creditors and officeholders across the full scope of mandates, whether in a formal procedure or in out-of-court restructuring. As well as being very active constructing and implementing rehabilitation proceedings to enable the continued survival of a distressed company as a going concern, the team also advises stakeholders in relation to special administration proceedings. Recognised as  ’an authority on restructuring and insolvency matters under Greek law’, Eirinikos Platis has a versatile practice that frequently sees him advising officeholders in relation to special administration proceedings (an area he is understandably particularly skilled at since he had a role in drafting the new insolvency code in an ERB-funded project). check ‘A strong litigation-focused restructuring lawyer’,  Vassileios Mavrommatis has been involved in many of the biggest liability restructurings in the country and is appreciated for his ’unique ability to parse through complex fact patterns and legal analyses to get to the right answer’. The ‘extremely knowledgeable and experienced’ Marina-Eleni Theodorou  co-heads the team alongside Platis and Mavrommatis and is particularly noted for her work on behalf of special administrators.
