The MultiLandy convention can help you defend against a NT opening. It shows precisely the content of the overcaller's hand. You should have enough points to open - 11/12.
With Multilandy -
2C = 5 cards in in one major and 4 in the other
2D = at least 6 cards in a major suit
2H = 5 hearts and 5 in a minor
2S = 5 spades and 5 in a minor
2NT = 5 cards in both minors
Response to 2C overcall
Choose the preferred major. With good support raise to game in preferred major suit
If no preference bid 2D to allow partner to choose
Response to 2D overcall
Bid 2H. The overcaller can correct to Spades.
Bid 2NT if you have support in H or S and Opening Points - Forcing to Game
Bid 2S if you have interested in Game in Hearts. Invitational. Partner can leave in Spades if his Long Major is Spades.
Response to 2H overcall
Pass or raise to 3 to invite a game contract or 4 to play.
