Our firm was founded in 1912 by Achilles Sakellarides, who practiced law for 57 years in Thessaloniki in northern Greece and established an excellent reputation for the firm. John Sakellarides continued his father’s law practice, focusing on industrial property and commercial law. He merged with the office of Dr. Aristides Kalliklis in the 1970s. From 1968 until 2003 John Sakellarides held the position of General Secretary of the Greek Association of Inventors. Today, the law firm is directed by his daughter Vali Sakellarides, Attorney at Law in Athens.

Our offices are located in Athens, in the historical district of Plaka, at the foot of the Acropolis.
