Judicial & Extrajudicial Legal Assistance
Not every legal matter follows the same procedure.
Depending on the circumstances, a matter may involve communication and negotiation between the parties, preparation of legal documents, proceedings before public authorities or judicial action.
The appropriate approach depends on factors such as:
- the nature of the legal issue;
- available documentation;
- agreements already in place;
- actions previously taken by the parties;
- applicable procedures and deadlines.
The initial review of a case therefore focuses on establishing the relevant facts and examining the available documents before determining the appropriate legal steps.

Clients living outside Greece may require representation for legal matters that remain connected with the country.
This is common in cases involving Greek property, inheritance, civil registry procedures, commercial matters and immigration.
