About me

I’m an expert in shipping law and corporate finance. I offer the legal insight clients need to navigate shipping transactions, corporate re-structuring and finance matters.

I’m based in Greece, but I work with clients both here and all over the world. This includes ship owners, financiers and shipping industry stakeholders such as brokers, banks and managers.

I provide a highly focused, end-to-end service, ensuring clients receive robust support from start to finish. I’m recognised by my clients and peers for my practical and proactive approach, along with my ability to adapt to changing circumstances and address challenges effectively.

My in-depth knowledge of the shipping industry makes me stand out, allowing me to help deftly navigate its practical, operational and commercial aspects to bring about impactful results.

The relationships I build are everything to me. I create true partnerships, based on mutual trust and respect, with both my clients and those I work with, so we can succeed together as a team.

Making a difference is important to me and I take part in fundraising activities in our Piraeus office.
