Biography

Alexia is an EU (Greece) qualified lawyer, currently based in Geneva, Switzerland. She holds an LL.B. (Hons.) from the School of Law of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and an LL.M. (Hons.) in Civil Procedure Law from the same university.

Prior to joining the MIDS, Alexia had been employed for two and a half years in one of the leading Greek law firms, especially in the areas of IP law, Competition law and Arbitration. In the course of these two and a half years, she was mainly occupied with consulting a diversified clientele comprising of Greek and foreign companies on commercial, company, employment, tax, IP and unfair competition law matters. She also participated actively in the firm’s Dispute Resolution Group, dealing with a broad range of complex, high-value Greek and International commercial disputes, including those under ad hoc, ICC, LCIA and UNCITRAL rules. 

In December 2020, following a highly competitive interview process, she took up a position as a stagiaire at the Greek Competition Authority (Hellenic Competition Commission – HCC), a position which she held up until her arrival at Geneva. During the course of her employment she was involved, inter alia, in one of the authority’s highest profile cases, i.e., in the investigation of an alleged abuse of dominant position on behalf of Coca-Cola HBC Greece.

From an academic perspective, she has drafted several papers on national and cross-border dispute resolution related matters. In particular, her dissertation in the context of her first LL.M. explores the subject of public policy as grounds for setting aside an arbitral award and the interplay between parallel litigation and arbitration proceedings. 

As far as her studies at MIDS are concerned, it is worth noting that she is a recipient of the Diversity Scholarship of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR).
