We completed one of the first asset-backed financing transactions in the Greek market applying an innovative hybrid structure combining derivatives with a sophisticated servicing arrangement and irrevocable powers of attorney.

Papanikolopoulou & Partners Law advised Piraeus Bank S.A. and Resolute Asset Management on the transfer of control of a portfolio of residential and commercial real estate owned by the bank through this bespoke structure, marking the first use of such an approach for this asset class in Greece requiring a tailored legal and structuring approach.
