Andreas Panagiotis Papantoniou

ther owned or been a partner in many business enterprises over the years and have had many interactions with different attorneys on different types of deals, whether buying or selling a business or shares in a business, or entering into joint venture partnerships with other business people. Andreas ...was recommended by a business associate who had used him in the sale of this business and was very satisfied with Andreas' abilities and sound advice. So I gave Andreas a try with one of my deals since my attorney happened to be away on holiday and the deal needed to get completed quickly. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Andreas and manner in which he handled the entire deal process. He was always available for calls and was quick to respond to emails from all parties. He was very knowledgeable, both with respect to legal issues and business issues and performed extremely well in negotiations. I will continue to use Andreas' firm moving forward and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a solid corporate attorney.

Andreas was recommended by a business friend. He offers a lot to a business owner like myself. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in the legal aspects of a business sale (as was I after dealing with him) but he has the ability to understand the business aspects of deal as well – and unless you’re... a business owner that’s dealt with attorneys in the past, you may not appreciate the importance of this attribute. This is not to be understated. He brought so much to the table with respect to the actual negotiations of the sale contracts and carefully explained the business consequences and potential consequences of the provisions of the contracts. He also made sure proper protections were in place for me after the sale closed as well. He essentially guided me through the entire process and educated me on issues I never would have thought about myself (and I would consider myself a pretty savvy business owner). I highly recommend Andreas and I can’t say enough about what he brings to the table. Do yourself a favor and hire him for your legal needs.

If you are looking for knowledgeable and client-centered lawyers, you need look no further. Bashian & Papantoniou has helped me avoid irreversible pitfalls in my career by expertly negotiating my complex employment agreement. As a medical doctor, I have extensive medical knowledge, but felt like a ...fish out of water when it came to navigating through the 20 page employment agreement I received from my first employer. Bashian & Papantoniou were always there every step of the way, and were always helpful and patient with my questions and concerns. They were able to explain the nuances to the agreement, and alerted me of many of the clauses that were put there to protect the employer but put me at risk. They actually negotiated on my behalf with the employer's counsel, and I felt like I had more leverage in making changes with Bashian & Papantoniou representing me. I was actually able to make many of the changes I was looking to make, and was able to have the employer change the language on the contract so that it was no longer one-sided. I can't thank Bashian & Papantoniou enough for all their help and feel fortunate to have had their assistance with such an important agreement.

The law office of Bashian & Papantoniou was fantastic and most importantly ended up saving me a ton of money. I was moving my office into a class A real estate building, prior to this I had never dealt with a structured corporate lease before so I sought expert advise. Initially I was reluctant to hi...re the firm because I did not want to incur any costs in addition to my move, gut instinct told me to go ahead and hire them so I did. Within 10 days of lease completion I was faced with a huge construction issue that the landlord tried to pin on me which would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to rectify ended up being covered by the landlord because Andreas Papantoniou structured the contract as such. So literally within 10 days I paid for me legal fees for contract negotiation fifty times over! I would and have recommended Andreas and his firm to any and everyone!

Been working with Andreas for many years. He has helped me navigate to victory through very difficult circumstances defending and negotiating against two of NYC largest firms. He is a confident communicator, negotiator and legal wiz who knows how to get the law to work for you. Aside from being co...mpetent, they are honest and transparent; I say this because even if it is out of their scope of expertise they will put you on the right track and get you in-touch with the parties needed. Feel free to reach out to me for details.
