Katerina Marini

Katerina Marini and Associates Law Firm, the Greek practice founded and led by managing director Katerina Marini, has been named Corporate Law Firm of the Year in Greece at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. The recognition reflects the firm's development into a broadly based corporate and commercial practice serving businesses and investors, and the clear command of its field that has come with two decades of steady growth in the Greek legal market.

Established in 2004, the firm has practised for some twenty years and today brings together a partnership of around fourteen lawyers. It describes itself as a rapidly developing legal firm ready to meet every legal need with professionalism and innovation, an outlook reflected in the range of work it undertakes and in its willingness to develop what it calls bold and effective solutions in close collaboration with clients. As founder and managing director, Katerina Marini has shaped both the culture and the direction of the practice, building a team capable of handling substantial corporate and commercial instructions.

Corporate and commercial law sits at the centre of the firm's offering, and it is this core practice that underpins the 2024 award. Around it the firm has developed a wide complement of related services, including real estate transactions and leasing, inheritance law, administrative and tax law, banking law, criminal law, family law and mediation. This spread allows the firm to act as a single adviser to companies and individuals whose needs cross several areas of law at once, a valuable quality for businesses that prefer to consolidate their legal support with one trusted practice.

The firm has built particular experience in serving the property and construction sectors, acting for construction companies, real estate development firms and property management companies in both litigation and out-of-court matters. It has also become closely associated with investment migration work, having secured over two hundred residence permits for foreign investors in Greek real estate. This combination of corporate, real estate and immigration capability positions the firm well to advise international investors drawn to the Greek market, guiding them through both the transactional and the regulatory dimensions of establishing themselves in the country.

Operating from offices in Athens and Acharnes, Katerina Marini and Associates combines local roots with an outlook geared to international clients and cross-border investment. Its approach, described as advanced and closely collaborative, is designed to translate clients' commercial objectives into practical legal outcomes. The Corporate INTL Global Awards recognise firms that demonstrate specialist excellence and a clear command of their field within a jurisdiction, and in naming Katerina Marini and Associates Law Firm Corporate Law Firm of the Year in Greece for 2024, the awards affirm both the breadth of the firm's corporate practice and the leadership of its founder.
