About us

Ballas Pelecanos Law is a leading business law firm, with a determinedly forward-looking and results oriented mindset that continues to grow and builds on its rich heritage. Our unique advantage lies in the combination of the depth of expertise and years of experience of a traditional IP law boutique with the breadth of practice of a contemporary full-service law firm that consistently upgrades and diversifies its services.

Our dedicated IP team advises clients on all aspects of patent and trade mark work, ranging from highly contentious litigation to portfolio management and strategic advisory services. Over the last 25 years, we have also served as a lead litigator in over 700 anti-counterfeiting and anti-piracy trade mark cases, with our litigation track record featuring over 1000 trade mark disputes as lead litigators within the last 45 years.

In addition to trade marks, we also handle a large volume of national patent, European patent, and validation filings, as well as high-profile technical appeals, acting as strategic advisors to our internationally minded clients in their Greek and cross-border operations. At the same time, we have established ourselves as a leading law firm in Greece when it comes to patent litigation, acting for clients in high-value patent infringements and patent invalidations, especially in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors.

While patents and trade marks dominate our docket, we also provide legal advice in relation to all aspects of IP law, including designs, trade secrets, copyright, and software, concerning a wide range of business-critical IP matters.

Our IP law practice is consistently recognized amongst the leading ones in Greece. World Trademark Review 1000 and IAM Patent 1000 consistently rank our firm’s IP practice in the First Tier / Gold Band, while we are also ranked in Tier 2 of The Legal 500 EMEA edition. Most recently, Ballas Pelecanos Law was named IP Firm of the Year in Greece at the 2023 IAM and World Trademark Review Global IP Awards.
