About Yianni
Yianni is an accomplished member of the team, excelling in handling complex litigation cases particularly commercial, employment and defamation law. His practice primarily focuses on providing representation and legal guidance to clients involved in intricate legal disputes.

"I believe in implementing a creative and detail-oriented approach to solving legal issues. Many legal professionals approach legal problems with a closed-mind and fail to consider other possible solutions. They often forget to look at small details and discrepancies contained in evidence and laws which can radically change the outcome of a case. Attention to detail is paramount to equipping the client with a unique and robust solution to their legal issue."
