The ‘very well-rounded’ team at POTAMITISVEKRIS provides ’skilled and efficient’ advice to stakeholders across the gamut of restructuring and insolvency matters. Having been involved in almost every strategically important restructuring in Greece during the past decade, the team is able to leverage a significant amount of institutional know-how, and is consequently able to provide best practice advice, both in the context of out-of-court restructurings as well as those requiring judicial input. Drawing upon ‘an in-depth knowledge of the law’, in part due to his integral role (alongside Alexander Metallinos) in drafting the Greek Bankruptcy Code, team head Stathis Potamitis provides ’very insightful’ advice to debtors seeking to successfully restructure, including through the execution and implementation of a rehabilitation agreement. Vassilis Stergiou is ‘extremely knowledgeable’ and also has a focus on advising debtors and creditors on restructuring and refinancing plans and negotiations. At associate level, Konstantinos Rachianiotis has ’deep legal knowledge’ across a range of pre-insolvency and insolvency proceedings and regularly works with Potamatis and Stergiou in rehabilitation proceedings.
