About me
As an Associate in our Piraeus office, I specialise in ship finance, vessel sale and purchase, corporate shipping matters and yachting. I advise Greek and international shipowners, bondholders and financiers on a wide range of transactional matters, including financing arrangements, refinancing and the acquisition of both newbuild and second-hand vessels.
My work also covers flag registrations, corporate structuring and the establishment of ship management companies and foreign branch offices in Greece.
I bring efficiency and a commercial mindset to helping clients navigate complex negotiations while building long-term relationships. Before joining Hill Dickinson, I worked at international and domestic law firms focused on ship finance and yachting. I hold an LLB from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and an LLM in International Shipping Law from Queen Mary University of London.
Clients value my adaptability and collaborative style. Outside of work, I support animal welfare in my local area. My biggest inspiration is my brother.
