Trace, Freeze, Recover: Challenges and Practical Tips for Enforcing Arbitral Awards in Greece and Beyond

Our Swiss Arbitration Ambassador for Cyprus, Panagiotis Kyriakou, is hosting a side event as part of the Athens Arbitration Days, opening a vital discussion on one of the toughest aspects of cross-border dispute resolution — enforcing arbitral awards.

Titled “Trace, Freeze, Recover: Challenges and Practical Tips for Enforcing Arbitral Awards in Greece and Beyond”, the session will take place on 25 November 2025 from 12:30 to 14:30 (Athens time) at the Academias Hotel, Autograph Collection, Athens, followed by a networking brunch.

Moderated by Panagiotis Kyriakou (Archipel – Swiss Arbitration Ambassador for Cyprus), with a keynote speaker coming soon, the discussion will bring together a panel of experienced practitioners:

• Eleni Dionysiou (Patrikios Legal)
• Eolos Rigopoulos (Lévy Kaufmann-Kohler)
• Yiannis Bazinas (Bazinas Law Firm)
• Natalia Mouzoula (ALN UAE)
• Christopher Jeffreys (Burford Capital)

From tracing and freezing assets to overcoming complex enforcement hurdles, the panel will share practical insights and first-hand experiences on how to secure arbitral awards across jurisdictions including Greece, Switzerland, Cyprus, and the UAE. Expect a frank exchange on what works, what doesn’t, and what’s next for practitioners dealing with asset recovery in a global context.

We are proud to have Bazinas Law Firm, ALN UAE, Archipel, Burford Capital as sponsors for this event.
