Firm overview

From our beginnings in 1891 AKL law firm has successfully provided a first-class legal service to both Greek and international clients throughout the 20th century and built a formidable reputation in the Greek legal sector.

Now, in the 21st century, we embrace new ideas and new ways of working with our clients and expand our international horizons. However, we still hold and maintain the traditions and values which define us and everything we stand for.

While the depth and breadth of our expertise in our chosen legal sectors (Banking & Finance, Corporate, Real Estate and Dispute Resolution & Restructuring) is the foundation of our success, and that is reflected in the recognition and reputation of our lawyers, it is also our service to our clients and the values that drive our service philosophy that makes AKL different. These values have evolved and grown as the years have passed; but today, we believe that they can be summarised in three simple words, each with a powerful meaning:

INSIGHT | TRUST | PASSION

Athens based firm Alexiou-Kosmopoulos Law Firm (AKL) was established in 1891.

Highlights

AKL advised Eurobank, Piraeus Bank, Alpha Bank, and Attika Bank as lenders and MLAs on the Hellinikon Malls project. The project involved a EUR101 million bridge facility signed in December 2024 to refinance existing debts.

The firm was also supporting long-standing client Lamda Development on various other aspects of the EUR7 billion Hellinikon project. In 2024, the transaction between the Hellenic Republic, HRDF and Lamda Development was concluded, and the development of some of the first-planned projects, such as the experience park and the experience center, were licensed.

On the same project, the firm led the third phase of the licensing procedure, which included amending the existing presidential decree and joint ministerial decisions.

Amalia Vardakoulia joined as an associate in the banking and finance department from Quant in March 2024.
