Chambers notes that: “Greek-qualified Orestis Omran is based in Brussels and receives numerous plaudits for his expertise in corporate and commercial law. He has experience advising on transactions, joint ventures and distribution agreements. One client describes him as 'an expert in Greek law', adding that 'he provides us with outstanding representation and clear advice on our business interests in Greece'”.
Legal 500 notes that Orestis Omran is ‘distinguished for his intelligence, commitment, business intuition and responsiveness‘ – boasts extensive EU-oriented experience (in the energy sector) and that competition and state aid expert Orestis Omran is noted for his extensive knowledge of the Greek market, where he acts for large companies and public entities”.
A client notes that “We work mostly with partner Orestis Omran who is an absolute star. He has vast experience on EU energy regulatory matters and leads transactions between energy companies and/or governments in south-eastern Europe. He has a deep knowledge of the energy markets and understands the business probably better than any other energy lawyer in Brussels” (Legal 500 2021)
Another client notes that “I have heard people in the industry referring to him as the Michael Jordan of law and I cannot agree more on that”. (Legal 500 2021)
