ACTING IN YOUR NAME
NOMINE — Latin for "acting in your name". When you engage our services, we do not merely represent your interests; we become your voice, your advocate, acting with the same care and determination we would apply to our own affairs.
Our deliberate choice of "legal practice" over "law firm" reflects our approach. A practice denotes the skillful application of academic knowledge and competence developed through years of experience. It suggests a craft rather than a commercial enterprise.
PRACTICE AREAS
CIVIL LAW
CONTRACT LAW
ESTATE PLANNING & INHERITANCE LAW
PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW
REAL ESTATE
LITIGATION
OUR APPROACH
After three decades of practice, including at international law firms, we have come to understand that the Greek legal market operates on a different scale with unique characteristics that demand a customized approach. Models that succeed in global financial capitals, with a more sophisticated and complex institutional environment, often fail to serve clients in our market's specific context. This insight shapes our approach: in an era of commoditized legal services, we champion a client-centric approach designed for the realities of our market.
OUR TEAM
Our team is closely built, through decades of collaboration. The experienced lawyer who conducts your initial consultation remains personally responsible for your matter throughout. Delegating cases to junior staff, a practice that may reduce costs, rarely serves client interests.

OUR PRINCIPLES
CONFLICT-FREE ADVOCACY
Our structure eliminates conflicts that plague larger institutions. Your interests remain paramount, uncompromised by competing pressures or divided loyalties.
INTELLIGENT EFFICIENCY
We embrace cutting-edge technology to maintain lean operations without sacrificing quality, focusing resources on delivering exceptional outcomes.
FLEXIBLE FEE ARRANGEMENTS
We avoid traditional billable hours in favor of performance-based arrangements that align our success with your objectives, prioritizing long-term relationships over short-term billing opportunities.
COLLABORATION
Whilst we do not purport to master every legal discipline we have cultivated an exceptional network of specialists across all practice areas, founded on proven efficiency and academic excellence, based on merit alone.
DISCRETION
We do not publicize clients or matters. Published case studies risk compromising sensitive commercial data. We strongly believe that certain agreements must remain confidential by nature.
A DIFFERENT STANCE
Quality defines our work. Unlike firms pursuing relentless expansion, we harbor no ambitions for growth or global franchising. Our sole objective: exceptional legal counsel.
Legal advice cannot be commoditized or mass-produced. Each matter demands careful consideration, nuanced understanding, and bespoke solutions.
We do not compete on price—when legal expertise is required, cost should never be the primary consideration. Trust in your advocate's judgment, integrity, and commitment forms the foundation of successful legal relationships.
