Financial and corporate
Founded in 2011, Machas & Partners is based in Athens. The firm is registered at the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and the Hellenic-German Chamber of Commerce. The firm is especially well known for their M&A and projects work. The M&A team, led by Ioannis Charalampopoulos and Petros Machas, advised Intercontinental International REIC on the first merger of listed REICs in the Greek capital markets. The transaction was structured as a multi-phase ‘locked-box mechanism’ corporate transaction and involved a combination of a traditional share-per-share merger and a cash-out merger. Charalampopoulos, along with Nikolaos Koulocheris, also advised the Hellenic Republic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport in structuring the corporate transformation of three existing entities in the Greek railway sector. Key clients of the firm include Piraeus Bank, Navarino UK, STIQ Delivery, Staytion, EBRD, UNIFUND VCMF Management, Elikonos Capital, Sunlight Group Energy Storage Systems, Lamda Development, Hellenic Corporation of Assets and Participations, Piraeus Bank, and Eurobank.
