Our New York based legal and tax service
Our team members provide a range of legal and accounting services to Greek and American citizens living in New York. One of our oldest clients is based in New York. We have provided them with support on operating their business in Greece for many years.
From owning property, to operating AIRBNB remotely and expanding your business to Greece, we provide the legal, accounting and general operations and marketing advice to help you succeed. We also have close relationships with Attorneys in Cyprus whom we work with to establish companies where required.
Our team assists clients in New York looking for a English and Greek speaking lawyer or accountant in Greece to manage your affairs, execute property acquisitions and disposals and submit your tax and other associated declarations.
The key services we provide, are detailed in our accounting and legal service, and includes:
- Completing your tax returns including advising on the double tax treaties and how they apply to you in Greece and the United States
- Assistance with purchasing, selling or inheriting a property in Greece including acting on your behalf for legal matters, property registration and so forth.
- Providing assistance with migration, visas and citizenship applications. We have helped many American Citizens of Greek Heritage based in New York and across the United States apply for and arrange their citizenships as well as those of their children.
- Establishing businesses and company formation. This is generally for business people expanding to Europe, or alternatively, Americans who already have property and operations in Greece, and need to formally establish a company for tax purposes.
- Government grant and incentives advice and regulatory compliance. We will help you navigate the requirements for an AFM, EFKA or other requirements. In addition when you are operating in Greece, even if it’s a small family hotel, we can advise and guide you on government incentives that may apply to your operations.
- We can assist you with family law and tax matters. For example, we can help you write a Will in Greece, that reflects and is consistent with your American wishes, and can assist with the process for receiving an inheritance in Greece whether it be property, cash or shares.
How our English and Greek speaking accountants and attorneys can help you

We provide the certainty of knowing that we are onto your issue and will constantly and communicate with you. In addition, we do not charge for any minor communication or updates.

We work with clients facing these issues all day long and are knowledgeable about these challenges and the relevant laws. We also keep up to date with changes in the law some of which are favourable to expatriate Greek citizens.
Essentially, we operate and provide a service in the ‘Western Style’. I.e. we:
