Drakopoulos

What Drakopoulos does

Drakopoulos is an Athens-headquartered business law firm founded in 1992 that provides advisory and dispute-resolution services to corporate clients across Southeast Europe. The firm operates through three main offices in Athens (Greece), Bucharest (Romania), and Nicosia (Cyprus), each established as a separate legal entity under local law, with active engagement in Albania as well. It organizes its work into four practice divisions: Business Legal Services (corporate, commercial, M&A, banking and finance, real estate, employment, public procurement and PPPs, tax, dispute resolution); Intellectual Property (trademarks, design, patents, copyright, anti-counterfeiting, domain names, unfair competition); Regulatory Compliance (customs and international trade, EU and competition, gaming, energy and environment, life sciences, residence and citizenship); and Data and Digital Services (data protection, cybersecurity, AI and technologies, TMT).

The firm serves multinational and listed companies, advising on cross-border transactions, regulatory compliance, and technology-related mandates. Disclosed client work includes engagements for Google, Amazon Technologies, TikTok, Vodafone Group, Facebook and WhatsApp, Nestle, Reckitt Benckiser, Mercedes-Benz Hellas, Warner Bros. Discovery, Intracom, Incelligent, and Ella Resorts (on a €710 million bond loan arranged by Piraeus Bank). The firm monetizes through professional services billing — hourly fees, fixed fees for specific matters, or project-based arrangements — with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue. Delivery is partner-led and direct to enterprise clients through the firm's three offices, supported by thought-leadership publications, industry conference participation (IBA, INTA, ECTA, CEE Legal Matters, Balkan Legal Forum), and membership in the CEE Lawyers network.

Drakopoulos maintains no proprietary technology, software products, or APIs; its core technology consists of legal expertise, multilingual jurisdictional coverage, and process-driven advisory workflows. Recent strategic emphasis has been on building an AI and Technologies Legal Advisory service line — including AI risk and compliance assessments, IoT, blockchain, smart contracts, and metaverse advisory — alongside a partner hiring cycle that added four equity/regular partners in 2025. The firm is independently owned with no parent company, no external funding, and no public listing.
