What Ppt Legal does

PPT Legal (Papapetros, Papangelis, Tatagia and Partners Law Firm) is a privately-held professional partnership and full-service law firm headquartered in Athens, Greece, with a second office in Piraeus. Established in 1983 as the first professional legal partnership in Greece, the firm has grown from 3 founding partners to more than 40 lawyers, positioning itself among the largest law firms in Greece. The firm operates 15 distinct practice areas covering Banking & Finance, Shipping, Mergers & Acquisitions, Aviation, Real Estate & Construction, Litigation & Arbitration, Insurance, Employment, Intellectual Property & Personal Data, Tax, Energy, Competition & Antitrust, Public Procurement, Health & Pharmaceuticals, and Travel & Tourism.

Its core technology and infrastructure is a traditional law firm operating model, with no proprietary technology platform; revenue is generated through professional services fees (hourly, fixed, and success fees) billed on a per-matter basis to corporate and institutional clients. The firm employs a sales-led, partner-led go-to-market motion targeting major corporate clients, financial institutions, shipowners, and high-net-worth individuals. Marquee enterprise clients disclosed in the input include HSBC Bank Plc, EFG Eurobank, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Caterpillar Financial Services, Carrefour, Schindler, Abbott Laboratories, Ansaldo Energia, and Invenergy. The firm cultivates a wide international correspondent network across traditional shipping jurisdictions and maintains close ties with foreign law firms, surveyors, financial advisors, auditors, maritime experts, brokers, and valuators to deliver cross-border advice. The firm is currently led by three Managing Partners — Alexandra Tatagia (Piraeus Office), Alexandra Mitsokali (Athens Office), and Dimitris Manolopoulos (Athens Office) — following the passing of name partner John (Yianni) Papapetros in 2025.
