What Dryllerakis & Associates does

Dryllerakis & Associates is a privately-held, full-service Greek law firm headquartered in Athens at 5 Chatzigianni Mexi Street, with a continuous presence in the Greek legal market of more than 60 years (founded 1964 per the firm's own historical material; firmographic metadata lists 1971). The firm operates with a team of more than 75 professionals structured around 14 distinct practice areas: Banking, Finance & Capital Markets; Competition Law; Commercial & Corporate Law; Energy & Natural Resources; Environmental Law & Land Planning; Employment Law; Litigation & Arbitration; Mergers & Acquisitions; Public Procurement & Privatizations; Real Estate; Tax & Accounting Law; Intellectual Property; and GDPR. It serves enterprise, mid-market, and government/state-owned entity clients engaged in complex commercial transactions, regulatory matters, and dispute resolution in Greece and, through international networks, cross-border.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through professional service fees for advisory, transactional, and contentious work, with pricing bespoke to matter scope and complexity and not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is partner-led and relationship-driven: services are delivered directly by partners and associates with no intermediaries or resellers, and the firm relies on repeated top-tier rankings in Chambers Global/Europe, Legal 500, IFLR1000, GCR 100, and ITR World Tax as the primary credibility signal for enterprise client acquisition. Marketing investment is concentrated in scholarly publications, client newsletters, conference speaking, and an active LinkedIn presence rather than paid channels. Cross-border capability is supported through participation in the TerraLex global legal network and bilateral engagements with the British-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and CCI France Grèce.

The firm has advised on several landmark Greek transactions, including the Ellinikon Mixed-use Tower project (a deal with a projected total investment of approximately €500 million involving Lamda Development and Brook Lane Capital), the strategic sale of HELLENiQ ENERGY's stake in DEPA Commercial, and the first foreign-investor acquisition of a Greek private school by Dukes Education of the International School of Athens. The named partnership bench includes Emmanuel Dryllerakis (Senior Partner), John C. Dryllerakis, and approximately ten additional partners covering tax, competition, arbitration, employment, energy, and environmental law.
