We are delighted to announce that the sale of Depa Infrastructure SA by the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) and Hellenic Petroleum SA to Italgas, one of the leading gas distributors in Italy and the third largest market player in Europe, has been successfully completed. This is a landmark transaction for the Greek energy sector and our economy in general, in a very crucial and sensitive period for the entire European energy market. Maria Perifanou, Senior Associate of our M&A team, with the guidance of our Managing Partner Stathis Potamitis and the assistance of Associate Palmyra Chantzara, successfully led the effort. The team was also valuably assisted by Partner Dimitris Loukas and Associate Kostas Manikas on competition law & regulatory matters, Senior Associate Alexia Tzouni on corporate law matters, and Senior Associate Dimitra Rachouti on energy law matters.

POTAMITISVEKRIS acted as local advisor of a Greek leading company in the Telecommunications sector, to a complex corporate transformation and specifically, to the partial demerger of the sector of fiber optics and the creation of a new company, that will be an accelerator of investments in new generation networks and will contribute substantially to the shaping of the new digital page of Greece.
The POTAMITISVEKRIS team was led by Partners Alexandros Kortesis and Stathis Potamitis and supported by Senior Associates Alexia Tzouni and Varveri Christina, as well as by Palmyra – Maria Chantzara (Associate) and Olga Bezantakou (Junior Associate).
