Dimitris was a member of the EU Council’s negotiation team for the adoption of the new Directive on antitrust damages actions, as well as the legislative committee for the revision of the Greek Competition Act and the EU Commission’s working group for the revision of the vertical agreements block exemption regulation and guidelines and a regular delegate-representative at the OECD and the European Competition Network.

“To navigate through complex enforcement investigations and regulatory procedures in the most effective manner, one needs to defend rigorously clients’ interests and advance their business growth potential, while recognizing the importance of addressing agencies’ concerns in order to achieve the best results. Sustained and preventive compliance work often helps to avoid intense regulatory scrutiny or ensure a successful outcome in ensuing litigation proceedings”
