The firm's clientele covers a very broad spectrum of national and international companies and legal firms, ranging from individuals to large multinational enterprises and institutions. Moreover, having established an impressive network engaging some of the most important IP attorneys in other European and non-European countries (US, Australia, China, Arab countries, etc), our firm is in the position of operating on the basis of reciprocity.
Our firm was the first one in its field to receive certification as per the ISO 9001:2008 standard for both its branches in Greece.
