About us

Company Profile

Ballas Pelecanos Law is a leading business law firm, with a determinedly forward-looking and results oriented mindset that continues to grow and builds on its rich heritage. Our unique advantage lies in the combination of the depth of expertise and years of experience of a traditional IP law boutique with the breadth of practice of a contemporary full-service law firm that consistently upgrades and diversifies its services.

Today, our firm is led by partners George A. Ballas, Gregory M. Pelecanos, Grace Ch. Katsoulis, and Anthony G. Mavrides, providing specialized legal assistance to our diverse domestic and international client portfolio, on the basis of 12 active and agile practice groups.

Our firm, entrusted with advisory and litigation matters, serves key sectors in business and industry, including automotive, industrial machines and white goods, technology, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, oil, gas and renewable energy, defence and security, real estate, hotel, leisure and tourism, leisure wear, and many others.

Creating meaningful links with trade and industry has always been a key concern of us. To this end, our firm has been a long-standing member of various legal and business associations and communities, including various Chambers of Commerce & Industry.

While our support frequently focuses on the Greek jurisdiction, the multinational character of our clients and the international impact of our actions have clearly led us to adopt a global perspective. This involves reconciling the challenges of Greek law with the business realities of multi-jurisdictional projects, in order to secure consistency and maximize operational efficiency.

With a treasure trove of litigation history that goes back to the 1930s and the origins of our firm that was originally established under the name “Simitis Law Offices”, almost a century later, we continue to be trusted with the handling of entire dispute portfolios for global powerhouses and household names in a wide range of claims.

In recognition of its authoritative and leading position in the Greek legal market, our firm is consistently listed in the most authoritative international legal directories, including The Legal 500, WTR 1000, IAM Patent 1000, and Who’s Who Legal.

Through our membership in Ecovis International, we provide “one stop shop” legal, accounting, audit and tax advisory and support services, with complete ESG support services and advisory.
