English-speaking lawyers in Piraeus

Piraeus is the main port of Greece and one of the great shipping centres of the Mediterranean. Shipowners, charterers, insurers and crew from many countries rely on English-speaking lawyers in Piraeus, since English is the working language of the industry.

Typical maritime files involve ship sale and purchase, financing and mortgages, arrests of vessels, cargo claims and crew wage disputes. Outside shipping, foreigners ask about buying property, the Golden Visa programme, Greek tax numbers and inheritance of family homes on the islands.

Lawyers are members of the Piraeus Bar Association, and admission can be checked there. Greek courts hear cases in Greek, so foreign documents need an apostille and an official translation. Many shipping contracts choose English law and London arbitration, so ask whether your lawyer works with that. English-speaking lawyers in Piraeus usually set fees hourly or per matter.
