Daphne Yovanof

Daphne is a DPhil in Law candidate at Pembroke College. Her research is supervised by Professor Dorota Leczykiewicz and funded by the Onassis Foundation.

Her research project focuses on the extraterritorial application of EU law. It aims to identify the legal standards that the Court of Justice of the EU uses to justify the EU’s authority to apply its laws in cases typically described as ‘extraterritorial’ and to assess the Court’s role in shaping the reach of EU law. More broadly, her research interests lie with constitutional EU law, competition law and external relations law.

Daphne is a Graduate Teaching Assistant in Competition Law and was Stipendiary Lecturer in EU Law at St Peter’s College. She is a visiting researcher at the Center for European Law of the Université libre de Bruxelles, funded by the Wiener-Anspach Foundation.

Daphne holds an undergraduate degree in law from the University of Athens and an LL.M. from the University of Chicago.

Prior to her DPhil studies, Daphne was an associate at Clifford Chance, Brussels, and before that, a trainee at the European Court of Justice, in the Chambers of Judge Michail Vilaras. She is qualified to practice law in Greece and in New York.
