Our Publications

Our managing partner Ioannis Valmas is actively engaged in writing on legal issues and has been widely published in recent years. Many of his articles and bibliography can be found below or at the Newsroom section of our office page. His writings include legal opinions & articles,  exclusive chapters on Greek Law on the topics of real estate law,  tax law, commercial law, blockchain technologies, shipping law and aviation law. Some works have been published by publishing houses in Greece, UK, EU, China. Our Newsroom section is updated on a frequent basis in the form of newsletters. In general we try to keep up to date and inform existing and prospective clients as well as the general public through periodic publications that - by no means- constitute legal advice.
