AGA is renowned for its arbitration practice (international and domestic; institutional and ad hoc). Members of the firm have served as umpires, arbitrators, counselors and experts in some of the most significant disputes in Greece and abroad.

They are responsive in terms of working to specific time constraints and are very efficient.
