English-speaking lawyers in Greece

Holiday home owners, golden visa investors and the large Greek diaspora in the UK, US and Australia all end up needing legal help in Greece sooner or later. English-speaking lawyers in Greece handle much of that work.

The big topics are property purchases (with checks against the Hellenic Cadastre), golden visa residence, inheritance of family land, AFM tax numbers, short-term rental rules and company formation. Greek lawyers (dikigoroi) are members of a local bar association, such as the Athens Bar, which can confirm their standing. A notary drafts property deeds. Proceedings are in Greek, so translations certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a lawyer are needed for foreign documents.

Greek law sets minimum fees for some acts, but most advice is priced by agreement. English-speaking lawyers in Greece are based in Athens and Thessaloniki, as well as Crete, Corfu and the Cyclades.
