Yianni Cheilas is set to be the new head of Greek operations at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF).

Cheilas is replacing Dimitri Sofianopoulos, who is leaving the company to join Greek shipowner Costamare on 1 August, after nearly 30 years at NRF.

The departing Sofianopoulos will remain a senior consultant at NRF, however.
