International disputes matter because their outcomes reach beyond any single jurisdiction — they determine control over assets, the fate of investments, and sometimes the trajectory of entire businesses.
That scope is what drew me to arbitration, and what keeps me here. I work at the intersection of law, finance and strategy. My background in economics and financial modelling means I engage with the commercial reality of a dispute — not just its legal framing. I understand what numbers mean to a business, and I use that to build cases that resonate with tribunals.
As an independent practitioner, I do not delegate substantive work. Clients who instruct me get direct access to a senior practitioner on every filing, every hearing, every strategic decision. I coordinate external counsel and experts across CIS and EU jurisdictions — bringing coherence where clients often face fragmented advice.
My practice centres on investor-state and corporate disputes, with particular depth in post-Soviet and CIS jurisdictions. I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian and English — which in the current landscape is not just a convenience, but a material advantage.
