“Norton Rose LLP’s Greek law and international corporate finance capability ensures it ‘provides a very comprehensive service locally, coupled with a broader network to call upon’. It attracts substantial cross-border mandates, including advising Crédit Agricole on the regulatory and commercial aspects of its €123m acquisition of Emporiki Life, Insurance, Leasing and Asset Management. Clients are quick to highlight Elena Tsohou’s ‘care and understanding of clients’ needs’."
Legal 500 EMEA, 2011
“Sources agree that Norton Rose is “the most active foreign firm in the market.” Its global network is a big draw for multinationals with business in Greece, and its practical application of UK, US and international law is another great strength. Recent work has included advising Crédit Agricole on the acquisition of subsidiaries of Emporiki Bank, as part of an intra-group restructuring. Energy work has also featured heavily in the team's workload, with the lawyers assisting Sun Power and Hideal Investments Sarl with various M&A matters. Head of department Elena Tsohou“understands the big picture and is keen to find innovative solutions.” Spyros Zampelis“has proved to be a trusted adviser, providing our company with excellent recommendations,” said one client."
