After five years in London, Mr. Kotzamanis was recruited by a Greek shipowner to join its Legal Department in Piraeus, Greece where he practiced in-house before moving back home to New York, after two years. Thereafter, for 20 years, he practiced personal injury litigation in a family-owned personal injury firm, first as an Associate, then Senior Trial Attorney, and finally as Litigation Partner.
