A Heritage of Innovation & Excellence
The firm’s origins trace back to 1919, when Evangelos Patrinos, a Greek engineer educated at the École Centrale Paris, founded Greece’s first practice dedicated to intellectual property law.
Initially focused on patent filings, the firm quickly became a point of reference for innovation and legal protection in Greece.
As the IP landscape evolved, legal expertise was integrated into the practice in the mid-20th century, shaping its transformation into a full-service law firm. Leadership passed to the next generation, who strengthened its role within the Greek and international legal community.
The partnership of Anna Patrinos and Tassos Kilimiris established the firm’s modern identity, combining vision, professionalism, and dedication. Today, under the leadership of the Kilimiris family’s third generation, the firm has grown beyond its family origins into a wider team of talented lawyers who share the same commitment to excellence. Patrinos & Kilimiris embodies a rare blend of continuity and renewal: rooted in its founding values while embracing a modern outlook that is dynamic, diverse, and future-oriented.
