Stelios Gregoriou is a graduate of the London School of Economics. In his legal practice he focuses chiefly on his role as a litigator, combining the capacity and knowledge of the economist in cases that demand an economic analysis of the applicable law under given circumstances. Mr Gregoriou has been a member of the Athens Bar Association since 1986 and practises as a lawyer before the Greek courts, mostly the Supreme Court, and the European Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights.

Mr Gregoriou’s areas of specialisation include international trade, international business transactions, commercial law, competition law, European law, banking law, corporate law, distribution and agency agreements, intellectual and industrial property law, stock exchange, foreign direct investments in Greece and the Balkan region, mergers and acquisitions, and arbitration/ADR.

He acts as legal consultant to many Greek and European companies on Greek and EU legislation. He also counsels Greece’s biggest philanthropic foundation (a foundation for aged people).

He also advises several law offices in Europe about Greek Law and EU competition law.

He has acted as counsel before many national arbitrations and was the Greek lawyer acting in a favourable settlement after mediation carried out in the United States with Boeing, Honeywell and Goodrich in a high-profile aviation case.

Stelios Gregoriou’s legal arguments in court have contributed to the issuance of many Supreme Court and arbitral decisions that have vastly shaped the Greek case law of redress of dealerships or trade agencies. Also, he has contributed to the issuance of many cutting-edge Greek Competition Authority decisions that have enriched the concept of vertical restrictions in Greek Competition Law.
