Phytos Poetis is an international lawyer.

Background

Poetis studied law in London, where he was called to the English Bar in 1961 by the "Honourable Society of the Middle Temple (Barrister-at-Law)". Since then, he has continuously been involved in the theory and practice of international contracts.

He continued his law studies in Germany at the University of Hamburg and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Foreign and Private International Law, where, in 1965, he earned the title of "Doctor of Laws," under the guidance of Professor Dr Konrad Zweigert, Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for Foreign and Private International Law, and Justice of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, with a comparative international law doctoral thesis (in German) entitled: "Defects of Consent in the International Contract Law of Germany, Switzerland, Greece, England and the United States of America".

Between 1975 and 1980, in addition to his practising law, he served as commercial manager, legal adviser and member of the corporate administration of "Coutinho Caro + Co" in Hamburg, a worldwide turnkey contractor, being responsible for the negotiation, drafting and implementation of contracts involving the delivery and installation of industrial plants and high-rise buildings.

In 1980 he was raised to the level of "Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators" by its president, "Lord Donaldson, Master of the Rolls ", on the strength of his thesis "The Powers of the Engineer in Settlement of Disputes under the FIDIC-Conditions"; this was then published in the "Arbitration", the Official Journal of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, in the "Quantity Surveyor", and in the "Yearbook on International Arbitration".

Poetis was awarded the title and the honour and was vested with the office of the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1998, in which he served actively till 2002.

In 2003 he was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for "Outstanding Achievements in Law".

Since 1965, he has been the legal adviser to the German Embassy.

He was accredited, in 1975, as Official Interpreter and Translator to the Government of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg for German-English-Greek.
