Nomiki Bibliothiki

Nomiki Bibliothiki (ΝΟΜΙΚΗ ΒΙΒΛΙΟΘΗΚΗ, literally "Legal Library") is a Greek publishing house and professional-services group specializing in law, taxation and accounting. Founded in 1977 by Harry and Sophia Karatza, a legal family, it was created with the vision of building a model publishing house dedicated to the various fields of law and to meeting the demand from legal professionals for high-quality, accurate and fully updated information. It is headquartered in the historical center of Athens, in a modern office and conference centre that also hosts arbitration and mediation proceedings, vocational training and events for legal, tax, accounting and business professionals. The company describes itself as the leading organization in Greece and Cyprus offering a full range of publications, professional training, legal platforms and software development tools specifically designed for practitioners and scholars in the legal, corporate, government, law enforcement and financial markets. Its publishing arm issues more than 170 new titles per year, including around 15 academic journals, as well as textbooks, commentaries and monographs in both printed and digital format. Its catalogue spans criminal law, tax and accounting law, civil law, competition law, state aid law, maritime law, urban planning law, franchising and many other practice areas, with new editions released on an annual cycle. Beyond books, Nomiki Bibliothiki operates a substantial education business. It runs seminars, conferences, on-demand libraries and training programmes for legal and business professionals, and it has expanded into legal technology through platforms and software tools designed to improve productivity for law practitioners. Its product ecosystem includes digital legal platforms, the Qualex and Alma suite, and AI-assisted tools such as AI.chatbook, reflecting the group's stated emphasis on integrating information technology into legal information services. Now in its second family generation, the company employs more than 140 people and holds a leading role in legal publishing, vocational training and law-tech services for both public- and private-sector clients in Greece and Cyprus. Its dual identity — as a traditional law publisher and as a provider of digital platforms and training — positions it at the intersection of legal information, professional education and legal technology in the Greek-speaking market.

Nomiki Bibliothiki was founded in 1977 by Harry and Sophia Karatza, a legal family whose vision was to create a model publishing house specializing in the various fields of law and meeting the pressing needs of legal professionals for high-quality, accurate and fully updated information. From its base in Athens, the company built a catalogue of legal books, commentaries, monographs and journals aimed at practitioners and scholars. Over the following decades the company expanded beyond traditional book publishing. It developed a professional training business, running seminars, conferences and educational programmes for legal, tax, accounting and business professionals, and it invested in information technology to deliver legal information and tools digitally. Its headquarters in the historical center of Athens grew into a state-of-the-art office and conference centre that accommodates high-value national and international arbitration and mediation proceedings as well as vocational training and events. By the 2020s the group described itself as the leading organization in Greece and Cyprus offering publications, professional training, legal platforms and software development tools for the legal, corporate, government, law enforcement and financial markets. It publishes over 170 new titles per year, including around 15 academic journals, in printed and digital format, and has moved into legal technology with platforms and software such as the Qualex and Alma suite and AI-assisted tools like AI.chatbook.
