3. No attorney-client relationship

Use of the website, submission of the contact form, subscription to updates, communication via WhatsApp or purchase of a publication does not create an attorney-client relationship. An engagement is created only upon written confirmation by the Firm, following conflict-of-interest checks and completion of client identification required by Law No. 9917/2008 on the prevention of money laundering. Please do not send confidential information before an engagement is confirmed.

4. Client identification (AML)

As an obliged entity under the AML legislation, the Firm must identify and verify prospective clients and beneficial owners and may request supporting documentation before accepting an engagement or a payment. The Firm may refuse or discontinue an engagement where the requirements of the AML legislation cannot be satisfied.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Firm is not liable for damage arising from the use of, or inability to use, the website or from reliance on its general information content.
