According to DLA Piper, “Orestis joined DLA Piper’s Litigation and Regulatory practice in 2017. Qualified in New York and Greece, his practice focuses on EU regulatory matters in the energy, banking, and infrastructure sectors. He has very broad experience in contentious and non-contentious matters including in formal and informal state aid and other investigations before the European Commission, national regulatory authorities, and subsequent proceedings before the EU Courts. Orestis has also built a track record of successful client representations in the broader South Eastern European area and particularly in Greece where he has been leading significant projects during the past years. His clients include major international corporates, financial institutions, governments, and public authorities.“
Omran has an LL.B. from the University of Athens and an LL.M. from the University of Chicago Law School, and he is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Amsterdam. Prior to joining DLA Piper, he spent six months with the European Commission, almost three and a half years with McKenna Long & Aldrige, and two years with Dentons.
