Tsibanoulis & Partners

What Tsibanoulis & Partners does

Tsibanoulis & Partners is a full-service corporate law firm headquartered in Athens, Greece, founded in 1996 by Dr. Dimitris Tsibanoulis and reorganized as a multi-partner partnership in 2002. The firm operates with six partners and over 25 associates and of counsel, serving Greek and international corporates, large private and publicly listed companies, financial institutions, and state-owned entities on high-end domestic and cross-border matters. Its core practices are Banking and Finance, Capital Markets, Corporate and M&A, Commercial Law, Regulatory and Compliance, Intellectual Property, Real Estate and Construction, and Litigation and ADR, with additional specialty coverage in Insurance, Data Protection, Competition/Antitrust, Tax, Employment, Public Procurement, and Aviation Law.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform — its output is professional legal services delivered through partner-led engagement. Revenue is generated through hourly billing and matter-based fixed-fee arrangements on multi-year mandates, with no public pricing disclosure. Distribution is almost entirely direct, partner-led client engagement supported by the Meritas international law firm network for cross-border referrals, and business development relies on professional reputation, directory rankings (IFLR1000, Legal500, Chambers Europe, WTR, IP Stars), client testimonials, and thought leadership publications.

The firm's competitive position is anchored in the institutional credibility of its partners — most notably Dr. Dimitris Tsibanoulis's 33-year tenure as legal adviser to the Bank of Greece and his membership in the ECB-hosted EFMLG, plus ex-ECB, ex-BNP Paribas, ex-Hellenic Competition Commission, and other regulatory/supervisory alumni among the partner and counsel ranks. Documented enterprise and government relationships include ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) EAD (since 2014), the HCAP Supervisory Board (since 2016), and AEGEAN BALTIC BANK S.A., with additional multi-year mandates referenced in directory submissions. The firm operates from a single Athens office (Omirou Street 18) but serves clients across Europe, North America, and the Middle East via cross-border mandates and network referrals.
