Who we are
Since 2003, our law firm has been a pioneer in Greece in the defense of human rights before national and international courts. Through a series of landmark judgments, we were among the first to advocate for and consistently uphold humane treatment in detention facilities and prisons, in full respect of human dignity and in accordance with international standards.
We provide comprehensive legal support to victims of unlawful acts committed by public authorities and their families, as well as to migrants, refugees, and vulnerable individuals. We also offer consulting services to international organizations, NGOs, bar associations, unions, and citizen groups engaged in collective rights advocacy.
