OUR LEGACY

Over a century of commitment, integrity and growth

OUR LEGACY

Our story began in 1912, when Theoklis Lydis established the foundations of our practice, with a clear vision: to serve clients with integrity, find solutions where others saw obstacles, and build enduring relationships of trust.

He understood that law is not just a profession – it’s  a responsibility. A responsibility to stand by people and businesses, provide clarity in complexity and define principles that matter.

It was this spirit that allowed the practice to evolve, guiding us into new areas and preparing the ground for the growth that would follow in the decades to come.

In Loving Memory ....

JOHN G. HADJIS

OUR LEGACY

Under the leadership of John G. Hadjis, our firm entered a new era. A mentor, a leader and a visionary, John combined the deep knowledge of marine affairs with the ability to inspire trust and build lasting relationships. He began his career in London, gaining invaluable experience at P&I Clubs and then as an in-house lawyer at a major shipping company. Bringing this expertise back to the firm, he dedicated himself to the world of shipping for more than four decades. What truly set John apart was the combination of sharp legal insight with the ability to see beyond law itself – to undestand the real needs behind each challenge. This quality made the firm stand out within the Greek shipping community, turned relationships into long-term partnerships and established the practice as a trusted name in maritime law.

CARRYING THE LEGACY FORWARD

OUR LEGACY

Today, more than a century after our begginings,
our story continues…

We remain deeply rooted in the Greek shpping community, standing by shipowners and maritime businesses, with the trust, discretion and reliabilty that have always been at the heart of our practice.

Over the years, we have grown stronger, expanding our expertise into other areas of law, with clients relying on us also for corporate, commercial and real estate matters.

Because for us, growth never stops – we never cease to learn, to adapt and to become better at serving those who trust us.

Our story is still being written. And as we look ahead, we remain guided by the same compass: honoring our past, serving the present, and shaping the future.
