The Firm's litigation group has extensive experience in trying major trials in courts across the country and has represented numerous clients before the Supreme Court, the Council of State and the Courts of Appeals. European Union law, intellectual property and human rights are also fields of law in which Asprogerakas–Grivas Law Firm is traditionally dominant.

Our lawyers and experts also provide counseling, negotiation services, representation before public authorities and the issuing of legal opinions.

The Firm is also one of the best-known European firms for representing clients before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the European Court of Justice (ECJ). Some of the most important rulings of these International Courts have been shaped by us.
