Banking Law

Interest rates, compound interest, the development of a Greek bank contract, farmer loans are the main activities of our law firm.

Floating rate bonds, also known as floating rate notes (floaters), do not have a fixed interest yield but a variable one.

After each interest period, the issuer announces the new interest rate for the coming period.

The respective interest rate is often based on money market interest rates such as Euribor, the European Interbank Offered Rate.

The Euribor is the interest rate that European banks charge each other when trading deposits. In the case of floating-rate bonds, the investor is thus protected against interest rate changes by linking the interest rate to a reference interest rate during the term of the bond.

Several conflicts can arise if the banks do not adhere to the reference interest rate but set arbitrary rates. In such a case, we will be happy to help you!

Treasure hunt in Greece

Greece, a country with a rich history.
The soil of Greece is rich in archaeological remains or treasures, as there are often treasures hidden in the ground from the ancient Greeks to this day, due to violent population movements and war events.
Exploration and excavation with official permission (treasure hunting in Greece) only takes place with the presence of representatives of the relevant authorities.
According to the Greek civil code, “treasure” is the ownerless finds of particular economic importance. However, ancient coins become the property of the state upon discovery. They must be handed over immediately to the monument authority. The finder should not receive an appropriate reward (money) as a representative of the monument authority is present during the discovery.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Ιn any case, a person exploring in this country must apply in advance for a special permit from the locally competent Public Property Office.

In order to be granted a permit by the Public Property Office, other authorities (the locally competent municipality, monument authority, forest authority) must give their consent. The explorer should specify the areas he wishes to search in his application. The monument authority will check whether there are any known ground monuments at this location. The monument authorities can designate areas as ground monuments. No search is permitted in such areas. They are closed.

However, if the find is British pounds, then the treasure law applies, i.e. the finder should receive from the state as a reward (money) the 50% percent of the value of the discovered pounds, plus all discovery expenses.

Without an official permit, you will be severely penalized for exploring and digging!

Our firm has undertaken many times from the beginning to the end of the process of licensing the search for hidden treasure.

We know all the details of a comprehensive and successful treasure hunting process!
