This article was first featured in GIR as part of the ‘Europe, Middle East and Africa Investigations Review 2026’ co-authored by A&M Senior Director Kallia Gavela and DLA Piper Partner and co-head of Greece Country Group Orestis Omran.
In summary
In recent years, Greece has introduced a series of new laws and regulatory amendments that have, collectively, raised the bar for governance maturity in the country. This has been driven both by domestic priorities and by local implementation of stricter EU‑level directives in areas such as anti-bribery and anti-corruption, anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions. Company boards and investors operating in Greece are now responsible to oversee a wider and more complex range of concerns around compliance, corporate governance and operational resilience.
Discussion points
- Comprehensive changes to Greece’s anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and sanctions regimes
- Updates to corporate sustainability, diversity, data and digital finance
- Shift towards more robust oversight and increased scrutiny of board behaviour, internal processes and compliance
- More personal responsibility for board members and senior management, particularly in relation to AML, bribery and sanction failures
- Key developments in these areas and how they are requiring boards to adopt a more active oversight of regulatory and operational risks affecting their businesses
