Leveraging an 'in-depth knowledge of the banking industry', Bernitsas Law has a 'proven track record in delivering outstanding results' for international funds, as well as credit and financial institutions across a wide range of cross-border transactional and regulatory work. The eclectic nature of work handled by the team is exemplified by that of the 'hardworking, responsive and reliable' Athanasia Tsene who provides 'fast and accurate advice' on debt capital markets and complex structured finance mandates, as well as project and acquisition finance matters. Maria Nefeli Bernitsa, who was recently promoted to partner, is also a key member of the team and combines capital markets expertise (including on new money issuances and liability management exercises) with a deep knowledge of the Greek regulatory financial framework, enhanced by her strong connections with the regulators. The vastly experienced Nikos Papachristopoulos co-heads the team alongside Tsene and Bernitsa and is recognised as a 'legal powerhouse for every kind of capital markets transaction imaginable'.
