Local process context

Greece uses Law 4738/2020 which modernised insolvency proceedings.

Typical acquisition patterns

The most actionable situations in Greece often depend on stage, sector, and how quickly a buyer can move once a filing becomes visible.

Earlier-stage processes can matter for rescue or continuation angles, while later-stage processes may be more relevant for asset-only interest.

Teams monitoring Greece usually benefit from combining registry signal, local advice, and fast internal triage.

Practical considerations for foreign buyers

Foreign buyers usually benefit from local legal and accounting advisers before moving from origination to execution in Greece.

Public notices in Greece are valuable starting points, but diligence still needs to go beyond the filing itself.

Procedure type, timing, and practitioner or court involvement should all be reviewed before a team prioritises any individual situation in Greece.

FAQ for buyers looking at Greece

How do I buy a bankrupt company in Greece?

What is the insolvency process in Greece?

Greece has a formal insolvency framework published through GEMI Greece. The process typically involves appointment of an administrator or liquidator who manages creditor claims and potential asset sales. Local counsel is recommended for procedural detail.

How many insolvency filings does Greece have?

Filing volumes vary by week and season. AcquireEU tracks Greece filings daily from GEMI Greece and publishes weekly European Distress Reports with country-level breakdowns and trends.
