Stathis has a broadly based transactional practice and has acted in numerous cross-border mergers and acquisitions across South-East Europe. He is highly rated for his representation of clients in their entry into investment transactions and on the structuring of capital markets deals.

As Deputy Chairman of the Athens Derivatives Exchange from 1998-9, Stathis was instrumental in the preparation of the Investment Service Firms Code of Conduct as well as the legislative framework for the dematerialization of listed securities, the operations and products of the Athens Market for listed derivative instruments and the clearing and settlement of trades in listed derivatives.

He is also a dedicated expert in the field of arbitration and regularly pursues and defends claims on behalf of his clients before international arbitration hearings.

In his spare time, Stathis enjoys reading literature and history and is a keen gardener of vegetables and herbs.

“I particularly enjoy the practice of advocacy. The clearest expression of legal thinking is in the effort to persuade others of your position. I like marshalling the facts in support of a well-articulated argument and the use of rhetoric, which is the well-spring of the law. I am proud that we are a very efficient team of lawyers, working hand-in-hand across practice areas, responsive to clients' needs and enthusiastic about our work."
