Andreas Patsis is the managing partner of JPA Law Firm.
He is a graduate of the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Athens in Constitutional Law.
He has been a member of the Athens Lawyers’ Association (DSA) since 1991. He speaks English and Italian.
Andreas is a lawyer in the Supreme Court, while in 2019 he was elected Member of Parliament in the Regional county of Grevena.
He began his career in 1989 as a professor of Civil Law and later served as Legal Adviser to foreign and Greek multinational companies such as Saint Communication in Brussels, BARCLEY’S INTERNATIONAL-VISA in London and the BSE Association of Business and Industry.
In 2016 and for two years he was an Honorary Professor at the Democritus University of Thrace of the School of Social, Political and Economic Sciences in the Department of Economics.
In the late 1980s, he had the vision to predict the change that would take place in the legal services. So in 1992 he took the next step in deciding to establish the law firm Andreas Patsis and associates.
This vision was sealed by its 30 years of uninterrupted path and development, which brought success and the creation of a market leader in legal services, JPA Legal.
He has participated in international business conferences as a speaker in the Balkans, Europe, Africa, the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Countries such as Spain, France, Germany, London, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Brussels, Italy, Turkey, Cyprus, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Dubai, New York, Washington, Boston, Long-Island, Las Vegas, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Albania and Montenegro.
Foresight based on the firm’s philosophy and growth at all levels has become the basis for JPA to become a leading and highly trusted law firm.
In the late 1980s, JPA’s Managing Partner Andreas Patsis had the foresight to see the change that was coming to legal services.
Deservedly described as a mentor now, in 1992 he was inspired to found the law firm Andreas Patsis and Associates in Athens, which became the foundation of JPA Legal.
A client list with transactions worth more than 10 billion euros placed JPA Greece on the podium of the winners in its genre.
Taff Kara has been cooperating with Andreas for more than 10 years, and Okan for more than 15 years. More recently – as they foresaw the upcoming demand for global legal services – the three decided to integrate into JPA, joining Andreas as partners in the Board of Members.
As operations expanded, to meet the demands of its global clients, JPA ventured into the emerging market of Africa – teaming up with Lubosi to enable JPA Legal to ride the momentum.
The Board’s joint vision is sealed by a relentless journey of non- stop, in-depth experience, knowledge and qualified development
with one of the largest full-service business law firms – providing legal, corporate governance, compliance and management services to the highest standards.
From small and medium enterprises to large multinationals, banking institutions and investment schemes – as well as government agencies – management of private and public assets was what essentially contributed to JPA being recognised today as one of the leading firms in the field of providing high-quality legal services all over Greece, as well as internationally.
