This initiative represents a strategic investment in bilateral relations and a long-term commitment to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage. Our firm played a key role in the legal structuring and implementation of this important cultural project.
The transaction was led by Nikolaos Koulocheris, Co-Founder, Partner and Head of Real Estate, supported by Elisavet Papaioannou, Associate, with Ifigeneia Sagia, Associate, having advised on the corporate aspects on the transaction.

The establishment of the Chinese School of Classical Studies in Athens marks a significant milestone in cultural diplomacy, aiming to promote academic exchange, historical research, and the mutual understanding of the rich cultural heritages of China and Greece.
