Argyropoulou completed a Master of Laws degree at the University of Athens, the institution named in her education record. The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens was founded in 1837 as the first university of the modern Greek state, and its law faculty forms part of its long-established academic structure.
Her legal education ended in 1987. In 1988 she was admitted to the bar in Athens, the step that qualified her to practise law before the courts of the Greek capital.
Argyropoulou practised law in Athens as a partner in Scandamis, Mourgelas, Damaskinos & Wallace, a firm whose name combines the surnames of its named partners. Her position as a partner placed her at the senior level of the practice.
Her professional work in Athens followed her admission to the bar in 1988. Athens is the seat of Greece's supreme courts and the location of many of the country's major legal practices, which made the capital the setting for her career.
Admission to the Athens bar connected Argyropoulou with the Athens Bar Association, the professional body for lawyers practising in the Greek capital. The association represents its members, supports professional standards, and is among the largest bar associations in Greece.
