To support our practice in Greece, we have opened a small representative office in Athens. The Athens office is not a full service office. It does not practise Greek law and there is a very limited presence of Allen & Overy lawyers on the ground. It has been set up only to support visiting teams of Allen & Overy lawyers working on Greek transactions when in Athens; clients who require advice and assistance in connection with matters involving Greece or Greek counterparties should therefore continue to address themselves to their usual Allen & Overy contact or to partner Yannis Manuelides who is based in London and is in charge of the overall Greek practice at Allen & Overy.
