Fervent supporters of the institution of Mediation, we never fail to propose mediation to our clients as the best way to settle their disputes.

The Mediation department consists of licenced mediators that can guarantee a rapid and effective resolution of the disputes assigned to our firm using their knowledge and experience.

The key benefit of Mediation, which is already a common way of resolving disputes in other EU Member States, is that recourse to Courts is avoided, thus bypassing a long, tedious and costly procedure.
The procedure of mediation is absolutely confidential and quick. The parties involved commit only when they decide so themselves, by signing a jointly accepted agreement.Mediation is the way to resolve private disputes, civil and commercial disputes and disputes of a national or a cross-border nature, in which the parties are authorised to assign their scope.
In all cases, Mediation leads to solutions adjusted to the will of the parties, focusing on their interests and preventing court litigations.
As an extrajudicial method of resolving private disputes, mediation can be applied over a very broad range of cases.

For example:

5
Disputes between Banks and borrowers (physical or legal entities)
5
Family Disputes
5
Disputes between Owners in the same Building
5
Disputes between owners and tenants
5
Inheritance Disputes
5
Disputes from the provision of services
5
Disputes with insurance companies for all kinds of compensation
5
Disputes between businesses and their clients, suppliers or associates
5
Disputes between employers and employees
At the end of the mediation process, the Mediator drafts the mediation minutes (Article 9, Law 3898/2010), which among others include the agreement of the parties. This document can be filed to the Secretariat of the competent Court of First Instance to become an enforceable title.
Our firm’s legal representative, Anna A. Koraki, an Accredited Mediator, heads the Mediation department and personally oversees the process of mediation throughout its stages.

TAX REPRESANTATION

We can represent companies registered in other EU countries that wish to sell their goods with their own Tax Number directly to Greece, which is the first country of entry of commodities in the EU.
These companies must keep, via their tax representative, accounting books and register their activities, paying to the Greek state the respective tariffs and VAT for their import activities.
