Rob Tautges, chief executive at HLB International, commented: “We are very pleased to add HLB Hellas SA to the HLB suite of exceptional firms. As Greece emerges from the global financial crisis, there will be increasing opportunities for inbound investment. The talented partners of HLB Hellas will provide great value for the clients of HLB’s independent member firms around the world.”
Maria Koitsanou, head of the board of HLB Hellas SA, said: “We are excited about these developments and we are looking forward to serving as the HLB member firm representative in Greece.

A significant portion of our clients are members of international groups, and we will be able to make the most of the HLB network in order to provide them with a cutting edge cross-jurisdictional professional service”.
Currently HLB Hellas SA serves subsidiaries of international organisations based in Greece and reputable Greek companies. This international experience, together with the in-depth knowledge of the local market strengthens the company’s position in a challenging financial environment.
