From our beginnings in 1891 Alexiou-Kosmopoulos law firm has successfully provided a first-class legal service to both Greek and international clients throughout the 20th century and built a formidable reputation in the Greek legal sector. Now, in the 21st century, having changed our identity to AKL, we embrace new ideas and new ways of working with our clients and expand our international horizons. However, we still hold and maintain the traditions and values which define us and everything we stand for. While the depth and breadth of our expertise in our chosen legal sectors is the foundation of our success, and that is reflected in the recognition and reputation of our lawyers, it is also our service to our clients and the values that drive our service philosophy that makes AKL different. These values have evolved and grown as the years have passed; but today, we believe that they can be summarised in three simple words, each with a powerful meaning: INSIGHT | TRUST | PASSION
Insight
To work effectively for our clients, we must have a good understanding of their business, the commercial environment in which they operate, and the nature of the legal challenges they face. But understanding is only part of the task. In our work as lawyers, we also place a high value on providing insights into issues and problems that look beyond the obvious and identify opportunities and solutions that ensure the best outcome. Insight and flexible thinking lead to innovation and creativity.
Trust
Confidence in the legal advice we provide to our clients depends on the personal relationships our lawyers build with each of them. Open communication, plain speaking and the willingness to express and receive thoughts and opinions openly is essential. Strong and reliable long-term relationships depend on earning our client’s trust: Trust in our lawyers’ knowledge, expertise and judgement to find the right answer to any question. Earning and maintaining trust is why so many clients have stayed with us for so many years.
Passion
Our clients come to us for legal advice and solutions to their legal issues. But they also have a right to expect a lot more than this. Good service, clear communication, commercial understanding, value for money – all these things are also important to client satisfaction. Delivering beyond expectations requires passion, and this is a concept our lawyers place at the centre of everything we do. A passion for the law; a passion for delivering the best service and the best value for money that we can; and a passion for helping our clients to achieve their goals.
