Christos Oikonomakis

Christos Oikonomakis is an international lawyer whose work is primarily associated with the management of matters extending across multiple jurisdictions, particularly where international mobility, investment activity, business expansion and private legal interests intersect within the same legal and operational framework.

He is the Founder and Chairman of Oikonomakis Law, an international legal platform with coordinated activity across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas, operating through an integrated network of offices and legal presences in the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, France, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Luxembourg, Albania, Serbia, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, India, South Africa, Australia and Panama.

Over the years, his professional activity has developed around internationally active individuals, entrepreneurs, investors and families whose personal or business presence is not confined to a single jurisdiction and whose affairs require careful legal coordination between different regulatory, financial and legal environments.

Much of his work concerns periods of transition. In practice, these transitions may involve the relocation of an individual or family, the establishment of residence in another country, the acquisition of investment property abroad, the expansion of a business structure into Europe, or the reorganization of operational and legal arrangements across more than one jurisdiction.

Such matters rarely involve immigration, corporate or investment considerations in isolation. More often, they require a stable legal framework capable of allowing residence rights, regulatory obligations, banking requirements, investment activity and long-term operational continuity to coexist without fragmentation between the jurisdictions involved.

Within this context, he regularly advises on matters connected with international relocation, residency-by-investment structures, Golden Visa frameworks, cross-border business establishment, international real estate investment, banking and compliance positioning, and legal coordination for internationally mobile individuals and families.

His practice also includes substantial involvement in complex international disputes, cross-border litigation and legal matters affecting internationally active companies and private individuals with exposure across multiple jurisdictions.

Within the framework of his European activity, he is registered as a European Lawyer with the Bar Associations of Düsseldorf, Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, Luxembourg, Sofia, Cyprus and Malta.

In parallel, he is registered as a Foreign Lawyer in the United Kingdom, Australia and Israel, reinforcing the international operational dimension of his practice outside the European Union.

In Greece, he is admitted to practice before the Supreme Civil and Criminal Court (Areios Pagos) and the Council of State, is a member of the Piraeus Bar Association and is accredited as a mediator under Greek law.

He is additionally registered with the Bucharest Bar Association in Romania, where he remains active in matters connected with Romanian corporate activity and cross-border legal coordination throughout Southeast Europe.

His broader professional activity extends across areas frequently associated with internationally mobile individuals and international investment structures, including corporate and commercial law, international transactions, real estate and investment law, banking and financial matters, AML and regulatory compliance, employment and immigration, international dispute resolution, technology and data protection, and private client advisory work carried out in cooperation with specialized tax and financial professionals where required.

He is a member of international professional organizations including the International Bar Association (IBA), the Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA), the European Lawyers’ Union (U.A.E.) and the American Bar Association (ABA - International Section).

Under his leadership, Oikonomakis Law has developed an international operational structure capable of coordinating matters across interconnected jurisdictions including the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, France, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Luxembourg, Albania, Serbia, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, India, South Africa, Australia and Panama.

The firm’s activity is particularly concentrated on international mobility matters, residence and relocation structures, cross-border investments, internationally active businesses and legal coordination between jurisdictions where personal, operational and investment considerations overlap.

His professional profile reflects a practice shaped around international continuity, cross-border legal coordination and the careful management of matters in which individuals, families and businesses operate across more than one legal and regulatory environment simultaneously.
