Although Greece has been the focal point of the firm's activities, Kelemenis & Co. has been active in most of the transition economies in Southeast Europe (e.g. FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Romania, Bosnia). We have consistently advised local governments on EU regulation and competition, and on legal approximation with the EU acquis. In doing so, we have developed strong alliances both in the private and public sectors in these countries. Such involvement makes it possible for our national and international clients to make excellent use of our knowledge of the business and legal environment in the region, our ties with local law offices, and our networking.

Our work is by and large funded by the EU through its various local programmes (European Agency for Reconstruction, CARDS, OBNOVA, PHARE) and occasionally by the World Bank and EBRD. We have substantial experience both of working for central government (mostly at a legislative/statute drafting level) and of advising investors on their dealings in these emerging markets (including privatisation and PFI/PPP deals).
