Metaxas & Associates Law Firm has the privilege to be selected as the national expert for Greece and Cyprus in a new study on the enforcement of State Aid rules and decisions by national courts in EU member-states.

It is based on the expertise of legal firms in EU member-states that are appointed as national experts due to their proven excellent track record and expertise in legal issues related to the study.

The Study covers all 27 Member States and gathers information regarding the most relevant rulings adopted by national courts on State aid matters at all levels of jurisdiction, from first to last instance courts. It is being carried out in 2018/2019 and is expected to be concluded and published during the course of this year.
