Our law firm was established 40 years ago. The attorneys of the firm have practiced law with some of the largest and most prestigious corporate law firms in the United States and Greece. The firm was formed specifically to represent U.S. businesses and individuals with regard to Greek legal matters.

We are also the premier U.S. law firm representing Americans and Greek-Americans with regard to their inheritance and real estate matters in Greece. We are the choice of other U.S. lawyers for their clients' Greek legal matters. The attorneys, between our affilliated Greece and U.S. offices, are in constant contact with each other (by travel, fax, e-mail and telephone) as they work on your case - so that optimal communication and handling is assured.

Our clients are from throughout the entire United States and Canada and include thousands of U.S. individuals, Greek Americans, Corporations, Banks and Insurance Companies who simply want assurance that their Greek legal matters are handled competently, ethically and with "U.S. level" quality and standards.

Many of our clients' entire Greek legal issues and affairs are handled without them having to visit our office (we prepare and send them all Greek legal documents required); and, if our clients wish, they do not have to travel to Greece for their legal matters - since the Greek Law Group can handle said legal matters on behalf of the clients in Greece (in most cases) with the proper paperwork which we prepare.

The Hahalis & Kounoupis Greek Law Group focuses on providing "U.S. style, big firm" representation in the handling of U.S. - Greek legal matters. The firm is comprised of twelve full time attorneys in addition to trained paralegals and support staff and maintains offices in the United States and Greece.

The firm provides legal and consulting services to numerous U.S. and Greek companies, law firms and individuals focusing in the areas of corporate law, securities, investment and banking, mergers and acquisitions, taxation, commercial and civil litigation, trade law, debt collection, intellectual property, estate and inheritances, family law and real estate. For example, in many U.S.- Greek inheritance and divorce legal matters, careful consideration and coordination must be given to the interaction of the laws of the U.S. and Greece - and in such cases the Firm has often worked closely with U.S. counsel of the parties (whether it be a divorce or estate matter).

Overseas business and legal matters are risky by their nature. You should not have to worry about managing foreign counsel that does not thoroughly understand U.S. business and law and is not responsive to the needs of United States clients. Being experienced U.S. as well as experienced Greek attorneys, we emphasize constant communication, accountability and reporting with regard to all Greek legal matters we handle, as well as with regard to our fees for such matters. Communication, competence, efficiency, as well as the security of dealing with an established U.S. law firm, is the advantage we offer you in handling your Greek legal matters.
