 I am a third year SJD student working on Bankruptcy Law and Private Law Theory. My main project is focused on the normative foundations of personal bankruptcy law in the U.S. and Canadian legal orders. I also research on corporate bankruptcy especially in the U.S., currently working on mega-bankruptcy case-studies, the intersection of mass tort litigation and bankruptcy, and third-party releases.

 I hold an LL.M. in Legal Theory from NYU School of Law, having written a thesis on corporate asset partitioning. I studied for my LL.B. in Greece and France.

I am a lawyer in Greece and I spend some time lawyering in Greek and E.U. law, especially on restructuring consultation.

A Dynamic Judicial Approach to Diachronic Legislative Integrity, (2020) 33:2 Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence 481.

  • Arguing that theories of statutory interpretation should account for the fact that legislative bodies are in a dynamic process of building coherence and consistency in the law, but that the law might not be a coherent, consistent and complete whole yet.

Arguing that four approaches are used in Québec to orient people toward monogamous relationships and away from polyamorous relationships: (1) limiting to two the number of parents per child, (2) facilitating spousal care, (3) protecting spouses against economic vulnerability, and (4) prohibiting certain polyamorous arrangements (criminalization of polygamy).
