Kelemenis & Co. acts for Greece’s bid for the America’s Cup

The firm has been retained to act as legal counsel to The Greek Challenge, Greece’s venture to host an act of the America’s Cup and build a regatta to compete in this most famous race in international sports. The America's Cup is the most prestigious regatta and Match Race in the sport of sailing, and the oldest active trophy in international sport, predating the Modern Olympics by 45 years. The sport attracts top sailors and yacht designers because of its long history and prestige as the “Holy Grail” of yachting. Although the most salient aspect of the regatta is its yacht races, it is also a test of boat design, sail design, fundraising, and management skills.
