Chadbourne & Parke has announced that Greek lawyer Despina Doxaki has agreed to join the firm's Project Finance Group in London as an International Partner. Doxaki joins Chadbourne from Greece's largest law firm, Kyriakides Georgopoulos, which she left on May 16, 2014.
Doxaki focuses her practice on project finance work and a wide range of banking and finance transactional matters in southern Europe -- primarily in Greece. She has particular expertise in the infrastructure field, and over the last two years she advised on two pioneering PPP projects, which were the first successfully to reach financial close in Greece.
“Strengthening Chadbourne’s project finance capabilities in Europe is a critical component of our firm-wide strategy to enhance our position as one of the leading energy firms in the world,” said Adrian Mecz, Managing Partner of the London office. “With her experience and connections in southern Europe, Despina will play an important role in growing our practice. We are delighted to welcome her to the firm.”
Doxaki is a member of the Legal Committee of Greek Banking Association’s Banking and Capital Markets Law Society, European Community Law Association, and European Lawyers Association.
She earned her European Baccalaureate from the European Law School in Brussels, her LL.B. from Athens University Law School, and her LL.M. from the Institute for European Studies of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles.
