Predominantly focusing on multi-jurisdictional fraud accusations, espionage, and forgery claims, POTAMITISVEKRIS utilises a ‘holistic approach’ when representing banking executives, NGOs, and boards of directors. The firm demonstrates in-depth expertise in fraud and insider trading cases, in addition to showcasing experience in dealing with the ECHR. Situated in Athens, ’superb’ lead Konstantinos Papadiamantis mainly specialises in tax evasion and AML matters, while the ‘great’ Natalia Chrisagi stands out for her breach of trust and market manipulation offering. Evgenia Kordou concentrates on white-collar crime proceedings, and the practice shows considerable activity in the banking, luxury goods, and railway sectors.
