Spyridon Batzios

Greek Lawyer with an international backround specialized in Corporate, IP, Financial Law and international dispute resolution ( Litigation- Arbitration)

Following some years of experience at a boutique law firm in Greece, where I advised clients mainly on civil, contract and corporate law relating matters, I gained international experience as an intern at the boutique law firm Wach und Meckes in Munich, Germany, where I handled cases in both, English and German.  Subsequently, my time as an associate at the team of K&P, a leading law firm in Athens allowed me to acquire further experience with a broad variety of international cases. At K&P, I handled mediations, litigations and arbitrations under a variety of laws (English, French, German , Greek Law, as well as UNIDROIT principles) and procedural rules pertaining, inter alia, to international sales of goods and construction disputes. Furthermore, I was frequently advising international clients on contract, commercial, as well as corporate and M&A law relating matters. I was also involved in and conducted due diligence investigations in the context of major M&A and financing transactions. My latest experience was as a foreign lawyer at Dentons international LLP (Frankfurt office) handling commercial arbitration cases pertaining mainly to distribution agreements.

I am admitted as a lawyer in Greece since 2015 and I have an international background, since I have been trained in different jurisdictions. I hold an LL.B from the Aristoteles University of Thessaloniki, an LL.M in private international Law and international business transactions from the Democritus University of Thrace and an LL.M in German business law from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Last year I pursued a third LLM in the field of International Dispute Settlement at the University of Geneva and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (MIDS) as a double scholar, in order to further strengthen my profile as an international lawyer.
