Can I instruct a lawyer in Thessaloniki if I live abroad?

Yes. Most of our clients connected to the Thessaloniki office live abroad, and we regularly manage matters remotely through phone calls, video meetings, and power of attorney.

Can the law firm assist me without travelling to Greece?

In most cases, yes. Documents can be signed and submitted through a power of attorney, and we keep you updated throughout by phone, email, or video call. If your physical presence is ever legally required, we will tell you well in advance.

What legal services does the Thessaloniki office offer?

The Thessaloniki office handles real estate, inheritance, family and divorce matters, civil and criminal cases, Golden Visa and immigration, Greek citizenship, and corporate and labour law.

Will I be able to speak with my lawyer directly in English

Yes, and not as a courtesy. Leptokaridou Law Firm was built for international clients from the outset, and English is the language we work in every day, not a translation layered on top of a Greek practice. You will deal directly with your lawyer in fluent English throughout your matter, with nothing lost in interpretation.

Kann ich mit meiner Anwältin in Thessaloniki auf Deutsch sprechen?

Ja, uneingeschränkt. Eleftheria ist seit 2015 auch in Deutschland als Rechtsanwältin zugelassen und lebt tatsächlich zwischen Berlin und Thessaloniki, nicht nur auf dem Papier. Sie sprechen von Anfang an direkt mit ihr auf Deutsch.

Why Choose Us

Local Knowledge, International Perspective

Local Knowledge of the Greek Legal System

We know the Greek legal system and the local context of Thessaloniki in detail, from court procedures to how things actually get done at the municipal and notarial level. That local grounding matters, especially for clients handling matters from a distance.

A Lawyer Who Works Across Borders

Eleftheria Leptokaridou has practiced law in both Greece and Germany, giving her direct, first-hand experience with how legal matters move across borders, not just theoretical familiarity with two systems.

An International Mindset, Applied to Greek Law

We work daily with international clients, Greeks living abroad, foreign nationals with interests in Greece, and companies entering the Greek market. If you don’t live in Greece or aren’t familiar with its bureaucracy, having a Greek lawyer who thinks internationally is a real, practical advantage, not just a nice extra.
