Throughout its history, Daniolos Law Firm remains heavily involved in maritime and commercial law with strong ties to the Greek shipping community.
The firm is the historical continuation of the law offices
founded by George Daniolos in 1923 who commenced his practice as
the legal advisor of Stamatis Embiricos then president of the
Union of Greek Shipowners. In the ensuing years since its
establishment our law office has merged and grown several times.
It became a partnership under the name Daniolos-Zagoraios until
late 1930s and subsequently G. & N.L.Daniolos.
In 2002 it merged with Issaias Law Firm (established in the late
1920s) both primarily active in maritime law. In 2006
Daniolos-Issaias & Partners merged with corporate law firm
Kyriakides-Georgopoulos forming KGDI Law Firm. In 2013 the
shipping branch of KGDI continued its operation independently as
Daniolos Law Firm.
We represent both buyers and sellers in ship sale and purchase agreements involving all kinds of vessels (passenger, bulk carriers, tankers, gas carriers and yachts) registered under the Greek or foreign flags.
We have extensive experience in negotiating shipbuilding contracts with far east shipyards (Japan, China, South Korea).
We represent both Greek and foreign banks and Owners in drafting
loan agreements and registering mortgages for vessels flying both
Greek or foreign flags and we have considerable experience in the
renegotiation and restructuring of financing arrangements.
We represent and provide legal advice to Greek Owners who listed
their companies in US stock exchanges, both on matters of the
procedure for the listing and organizational aspects of the listed
companies.
We advise clients in all matters related to maritime companies, Greek and off shore and the organization and setting up of maritime businesses.
We represent all UK and Skandinavian P&I Clubs as well as the American P&I Club in all kinds of shipping related litigation.
Our firm has extensive experience in dealing with crew and passengers personal injury claims as well as crew illness cases. Our instructions usually include negotiations with the affected parties and if necessary defense litigation. Certain of the cases we have handled set precedents of the Supreme Civil Court.
Our firm has been involved in most major maritime incidents that occurred within Greek waters and in many high profile accidents of Greek flagged/owned vessels abroad and we have experience in the establishment and operation of liability funds under the LLMC 1976/99 Convention.
We have experience in handling pollution cases acting either on behalf of P&I Clubs/Owners or the IOPC Funds. One of the major incidents that occurred within Greek waters in 1996, which we handled on behalf of the UK P&I Club, has set precedents with regard to the interpretation of the CLC/Fund 1969/92 Conventions.
We represent clients in all kinds of shipping related litigation
and arbitration/mediation (such as shareholding disputes, damages
due to maritime accidents etc) and we are particularly involved in
defending claims against classification societies.
In addition to the above our experience covers also litigation
related to banking, real estate, commercial and civil matters.
We handle a variety of civil and commercial law related cases for our shipping clients who invest in real estate and other businesses.
