Stavroula Politi

Stavroula Politi is a senior associate at Dr. Helen G. Papaconstantinou and Partners (HP&P), one of Greece's foremost intellectual property law firms, where she practises within the trademark and anti-counterfeiting teams. Based in Athens, she was named Anti-Counterfeiting Law Expert of the Year in Greece at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, a distinction that recognises her focused expertise in one of the most demanding areas of IP enforcement and her contribution to the protection of brand owners operating in the Greek market.

Ms Politi's practice centres on trademarks, anti-counterfeiting and domain name disputes. Her work encompasses trademark prosecution at national and EU level as well as in foreign jurisdictions, trademark clearance searches, and proceedings before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Anti-counterfeiting is a field that calls for both meticulous legal analysis and practical, fast-moving enforcement, drawing together civil, administrative and border-seizure measures to disrupt the trade in infringing goods. Ms Politi advises rights holders on how to build and deploy strategies that combine registration, monitoring and enforcement, helping clients defend the value of their brands against imitation and misuse.

She has built her expertise over more than a decade in specialist IP practice. A member of the Athens Bar Association since 2012, she began her career in 2014 with an IP-focused firm before joining HP&P in 2020, where she has continued to concentrate on trademark and anti-counterfeiting matters. She holds an LLB from the Law School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and an MSc in Business from ALBA Graduate Business School, a background that pairs legal rigour with a commercial understanding of the businesses whose brands she protects. She works in Greek and English and also has a proficient command of French, which supports her cross-border enforcement work.

Her expertise has been consistently endorsed by the leading independent guides. She is a recommended individual in WTR 1000 for 2024 to 2026, has been highlighted as a key lawyer by Legal 500 for 2024 and 2025, and has been recognised in the 2025 Global Advisory Experts Annual Awards. The Corporate INTL Global Awards recognition as Anti-Counterfeiting Law Expert of the Year in Greece, awarded in both 2025 and 2026, sits at the centre of this record and confirms her reputation as one of the country's leading practitioners in the field.

HP&P brings more than a century of history to its clients and is dedicated exclusively to intellectual property, covering patents, trademarks, utility models, industrial designs, copyright, litigation, anti-counterfeiting and border seizure, domain names and internet law, and related commercial and advisory services across some eighteen practice areas. Its attorneys are active members of the leading international IP associations, including INTA, ECTA, AIPPI, FICPI, MARQUES and PTMG, and the firm coordinates IP strategies for clients from inception through to dispute resolution, supported by an international network of partner firms. Within this specialist environment, Ms Politi provides brand owners with the focused enforcement capability that anti-counterfeiting work demands, and her award underlines the calibre of that service.
