Attorneys in Athens will not participate in the three-day abstention from duties (Jan. 19, 20 and 21) called by Bar Associations across Greece, who are protesting against the government-sponsored liberalisation of their profession, the Athens Bar Association announced on Wednesday.
According to a decision, consultations with the ministries of justice and finance will continue and the Athens Bar's future stance will depend on their outcome. The Athens Bar Association is, by far, the largest such association in Greece.
