Zepos & Yannopoulos is proud to have supported Deutsche Telekom in the unprecedented immigration aspect of the launch of DT’s IT Hub in Thessaloniki.

The project team led by Manolis Zacharakis, employment partner, and Katerina Skiada, associate set up a task force including more than 15 lawyers, economists, and other professionals, and managed to successfully obtain residence permits for more than 230 employees and their families, within a record period of 3 weeks. The relocation of such group of employees in Thessaloniki laid the foundation for the establishment of the Group’s IT Hub in Greece that will provide information technology and software services. Additionally, TMT & Data, Corporate & Commercial and the Tax teams also contributed to the project advising on corresponding issues.

Angela Maragkopoulou, CIO B2B / Senior Vice President B2B and Data Analytics commented:
“Telekom IT GmbH has reached recently the decision of relocating a very important, modern and growing part of our organization to Thessaloniki, Greece, our T-Digital. The team being created there is integral to the modernization of our IT Architecture and the goals of our customers. Zepos & Yannopoulos has supported us impressively and professionally in setting up our new branches as well as in fast tracking the processes of relocation of existing employees. They have proven not only that the talent, expertise and professionalism of the partners is great but also that they can provide fast-paced solutions to problems.
Zepos & Yannopoulos is a true T-Digital partner in Greece”.

Zepos & Yannopoulos is further supporting DT's further expansion with local hires and their relevant branches.
