Complaints procedure

For each of our clients, our policy is to nominate a partner who has overall responsibility for ensuring we deliver a high standard of service, and with whom any problems should be raised. For Athens we one our associate who has overall responsibility for ensuring we deliver a high standard of service, and with whom any problems should be raised. For Istanbul and Izmir, we nominated our associate Buse Niseoglu, who has overall responsibility for ensuring we deliver a high standard of service, and with whom any problems should be raised. If you have concerns at any stage about any aspect of our conduct in any matter, including the level of our fees, you should contact the nominated partner or, in case of nominated associate, the nominated associate. However, as the nominated associate has no decisional powers on the direct relationship between Damiani & Damiani and the client, the client should refer to the partners, either Irene Damiani or Domenico Damiani, for issues arising from the direct relationship between Damiani & Damiani and the client.  We will always try to resolve any problem quickly and we operate an internal complaints handling system to help us to resolve the problem between ourselves. A copy of our written complaints procedure is available on request.
