About me

I’m a ship finance lawyer who’s here to support shipowners and financiers.

The areas I advise on include the financing of newbuild and second-hand vessel acquisitions along with refinancing arrangements, ship sale and purchase transactions and escrow arrangements. I also draft loan facility agreements and related security and inter-creditor documentation.

My approach is centred on trust, clarity and practical solutions. I make it a priority to understand each client’s specific requirements, so I can deliver insight they can rely on to make informed choices.

I’m known for my ability to bridge the gap between legal requirements and commercial priorities. I’m adept at navigating the complexities of structuring deals seamlessly, enabling me to provide clients with solutions that safeguard their interests while aligning with their broader aspirations.

I’m quick on my feet and I keep transactions moving, no matter the circumstances. It’s always so rewarding when I get to overcome a challenge and deliver for a client, while building a trusted relationship with them along the way, allowing me to support them for years to come.

My experience

  • Member of Athens Bar Association.
  • Worked for various financiers (e.g., Corner Banca, Yield Street, Hellenic Bank, Eurobank).
