Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Hello sir,

I have a question regarding international employment law. I was working in athens, greece for 2 years as Technical architect in a company. I wanted to come back to india , so i asked company for the option to open development center for them in my city. They agreed on that and we came back and started recruiting people for the company , which is indian entity. Everybody was working from home and almost after 8 months there was no office as promised by my greek employer , so i started looking out for other opportunities. I got an offer in india from an MNC, and I resigned in my current company. Now , My greek employer is saying me that we had oral contract for 3 years and as per greek law its a valid agreement. Now , he wants me to appoint a lawyer in Greece , so that the lawyer can fight for me in Greek Court?

I have some questions

1. Is it legal to have verbal contract in Greece?

2. Even if its legal as I am an Indian , shouldn't it be done in indian court?

3. What do you suggest i should do?

Awaiting you reply.

Thanks,

Rohan
