MK legal specializes in providing high quality legal and consulting services to businesses
with respect to all their activities and transactions. We combine knowledge and
international best practices on transactions with great practical experience in both the
private sector and public administration, aiming to provide tailor-made solutions in close
cooperation with our customers.
In order to address specific issues, we cooperate with experts in Greece and abroad, where
necessary, thus ensuring an integrated approach to all the issues arising in modern
economic life.
Beyond the usual legal support before courts that often requires disproportionate time and
resources, we focus, instead, on proactive means of legal support, such as providing
consulting services and legal opinions on the interpretation of legal documents, assistance in
negotiations and extrajudicial settlement of disputes, or proceedings before independent
authorities.
The firm specializes in corporate and individual income tax, VAT, accounting law, tax
audits and tax litigation. It also places particular emphasis on business law and especially
on providing assistance to negotiations and drafting of contracts for business transactions,
including financial transactions, acquisitions, mergers, restructuring (including cross-border),
GDPR, real estate projects, privatizations and projects of public and private partnership,
insurance and banking/finance law.
MK legal deals with all issues of contract law, ranging from effective negotiation to legal
protection in case of violation of contractual terms.
An additional area of specialization due to the great knowledge and long experience is
that of constitutional and international law, also including EU law. MK legal’s lawyers
effectively invoke arguments on fundamental rights, where required, before national and
European courts and document issues of incompatibility between national law on the one
hand, European and international law on the other hand, including also agreements for
the avoidance of double taxation.
