Telfa Member Firms

"In 1990 we received Wedlake Bell's proposal to join forces and form, along with four other reputable medium-sized European law firms, an international law firm alliance focusing on quality of services, personal contact between member firms and their clients, efficiency and reasonable cost of services.

Twelve years later TELFA has grown into a major network of over 20 law firms that have in many occasions worked closely together in solving complex legal issues. The reason of our membership is that TELFA has proved able to secure for our clients high-quality, efficient work and, what is more important, has offered to our clients doing business out of Greece a personal contact with the lawyer (firm) handling their case comparable to the one they have with our firm and its partners / associates in Greece."
