An Athens set of barristers' chambers, instructed in commercial and tax disputes before Greek and EU courts since 2004.
Twelve months. Two seats. Funded throughout.
Published the first Monday after each Council of State term.
“We instructed Eleftheria Kalogridou-Roussel KC and her junior Faye Marinopoulou on a €54m VAT dispute that turned on the digital fixed-establishment question under Article 11 of Regulation 282/2011. The opinion arrived within ten working days; the appeal succeeded at the Council of State. We have instructed CounselChambers on every comparable case since.”
“Anastasios Velonakis sat as sole arbitrator on a long-term LNG supply dispute between two of our affiliates. The award, on a force majeure question under Greek law, was delivered eight days after closing submissions and has held up under every jurisdictional challenge since. We could not have asked for more.”
“We are an English firm with a Greek-law dispute. The Senior Clerk, Theodoros Markou, came back within forty minutes of our first call with three members' availability and a fee proposal. Dimitrios Vasileiou and Christos Hadjianastasiou took the brief and won at the DED. The professionalism of the clerking, in particular, was indistinguishable from a London set.”
“Maria-Loukia Drakaki acted for our holding company in a post-M&A working capital warranty claim. She read the SPA more carefully than any of us had, and she identified a provision in the disclosure letter that anchored the entire defence. Eleven point eight million euro, awarded with costs.”
“Konstantinos Argyrou represented our client before the Plenary of the Council of State on a state-aid recovery question that affected fifty-seven taxpayers. The submissions were exact, the legitimate-expectations argument was the one the Court ultimately accepted, and the chambers made it possible for our two-partner firm to compete with a tier-one Athens set.”
