    Goodbye Mitropoleos St.: Growth Romped To Victory!

    *Niki(s) in Greek means Victory

    New offices and New Era for Koumentakis & Associates Law Firm, that moved to Nikis Avenue & Morgentau St., in a strategic location in the heart of Thessaloniki (and, semiologically, beside the main symbol of the city: the White Tower).

    New Era

    The source of inspiration for the new offices was the firm’s extrovert strategy to serve its Growth, to “house” new possibilities and new prospects for the firm, its Clients and Associates and to increase the already high level of the services it offers to its Clients and Associates.

    Beyond Legal Services

    Mr. Stavros Koumentakis characteristically said, “After 20 years of presence in our previous, owned offices, it is time to leave behind the past, to turn over a new leaf looking to the future with optimism and to prepare ourselves for the transition to the new era. From a smaller scheme of four associates, we have gradually grown into a boutique law firm of twelve, to date, associates.

    We are already able to offer comprehensive and reliable legal services across a wide range of areas and expertise within the overall support of companies, key shareholders, senior management – and beyond”.

    Easy Cases Are For Others

    Mr. Stavros Koumentakis also noted, “Despite the unfavorable (national and international) economic environment, we are constantly moving towards investing in our growth and in the growth of our clients. We have no doubt that we are facing challenges. But we respond dynamically: “Easy cases are for others”.

  • Participation In Mare Nostrum VIII Congress

    Participation In Mare Nostrum VIII Congress

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Eleftheria Bitzaraki, Trainee at Koumentakis & Associates Law Firm participated in Mare Nostrum VIII, an annual congress organized for the eighth consecutive year in Rhodes by the Department of Mediterranean Studies at the University of the Aegean, with the scientific support of the Center for the Study of Mediterranean – Middle Eastern policy and culture.

     

    Mare Nostrum’s Objective

    The objective of the congress was to highlight as much as possible the multiple aspects of accumulated crises at the legal, political, ideological, economic and social levels as well as the interaction between them.

     

    The Presentation Of Eleftheria Bitzaraki

    In this context, Eleftheria was called upon to develop the legal parameters of the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, since the last two years (2014-2016), and especially 2016, have been the most lethal year in recent years at the level of refugees. And why is it the Mediterranean? Because there is a variety of international problems in it. The only stable that exists in the Mediterranean at this time is the instability from the constant movement of populations and, along with them, the overthrow of borders and regimes.

    In the presentation of Eleftheria Bitzaraki there are developed purely legal issues about the way in which the states have taken measures, both at international level and at our country level, by passing laws, by adopting decrees, by ratifying international or European conventions, in order to check the huge number of refugee flows that crossed and cross the Mediterranean even today.

     

    Reference To The International Conventions

    More characteristically, reference has been made to the well-known and with a variety of extensions Agreement between the European Union and Turkey on the control of the refugee population and the positive (for some) and negative (according to others) results it has brought, as well as the crucial role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) by adopting both legislation and case law on this issue. Also, reference was made to the procedures for the admission of refugee flows under the Directive 2013/33 / EU and Presidential Decree 220/2007 as well as the important role of NGOs in this. Without omitting the extensive reference to the Geneva Convention 1951 and to the New York Declaration which followed, as key elements of the international legal framework for the protection of refugees and the role of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Finally, Eleftheria also referred to the Dublin Regulation on Access to Asylum Procedures and the way in which Greece with Laws 4375/2016 and 4399/2016 succeeded (or not) to incorporate European directives into domestic law.

     

    Curriculum Vitae

    Eleftheria Bitzaraki was born in Heraklion, Crete, in 1992, and completed her studies in the Law Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2016. She participated in virtual trials organized by legal entities in the country in collaboration with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Eleftheria speaks Greek, English, German, Russian.
