For whom

Three conversations. One office. One century of continuity.

Residency, household, and quiet relocation.

You are weighing jurisdictions. Greece is on the shortlist because the tax, residency, and lifestyle mathematics work — but the infrastructure decision must be private, precise, and handled by one partner, not a staff directory.

  • Golden Visa and non-dom tax residency (7% flat-rate option)
  • Primary residence acquisition & title diligence
  • Private banking introductions, Athens and offshore
  • Household & family matters — schools, licences, estate planning

The jurisdiction brief your principal can act on in one meeting.

You vet jurisdictions on behalf of a family you answer to weekly. You need legal, tax, and banking clarity in one integrated brief — not three reports and a translator. We deliver the Greek jurisdiction dossier ready for your next principal meeting.

  • Integrated legal-tax-banking dossier (10–15 pages, Arabic or English)
  • AEOI/FATCA & Greek substance-requirement mapping
  • Structure comparison: Greek holdings vs Cyprus vs Malta vs DIFC
  • Continuity: one partner on every call, no rotation

Redomicile to Greece. Keep operating. Don't break the group.

Your CFO has a mandate: move the operating entity. The risk is not the jurisdiction — it is the continuity of contracts, banking lines, supplier agreements, and personnel during the move. We have run this play. One FZCO-to-Greece redomicile is already on file as our reference pattern.

  • Entity redomicile (Law 4548/2018 & cross-border instruments)
  • Corporate banking onboarding with tier-1 Greek banks
  • Employment, work permits, and executive visas
  • Pre-redomicile KYC, due-diligence, and legal opinion

Direct answers

Before you book.

Do you act for Gulf clients specifically, or Greek clients in general?

Both. L+A has acted for Greek individuals, corporates, and institutions for a century. The GCC desk is a purpose-built extension of the firm — same partners, tuned to Gulf timelines, confidentiality expectations, and Arabic-English dual documentation.

Is the first call chargeable?

No. The 30-minute consult is complimentary and confidential. You describe the situation; we give you a direct read — fit / no-fit, and what a mandate would look like.

Who will be on the call — a partner or an associate?

A partner. Always. If we cannot take the call personally, we reschedule. Continuity is the firm's product.

Do you work in Arabic?

Yes — Arabic documentation and liaison is routine for the GCC desk. Partner communication is English; documentation is bilingual where the instrument and the counterparty both require it.

Will my identity be known to anyone beyond the partners?

No. Matter files are partner-held. Support staff are compartmented. KYC obligations are met without disclosure beyond legal requirement.

How fast can a corporate redomicile close?

Typical range 90–180 days from signed engagement to operational continuity, subject to source-jurisdiction and banking-side variables.
