Legal support for foreign counsel, investors and businesses operating in or dealing with Ukraine — provided from Frankfurt, in English, Ukrainian and Russian.
Most international firms lack fluency in Ukrainian law — and most Ukrainian firms lack the international arbitration and cross-border perspective to serve sophisticated foreign clients effectively.
This desk bridges that gap. Based in Frankfurt, admitted in Ukraine and a member of the Frankfurt Bar under § 206 BRAO, I provide Ukrainian law advice that is directly usable by international counsel — without translation friction, without jurisdictional gaps.
Having worked on disputes worth over $7bn in aggregate across ICSID, ICC, LCIA and SCC proceedings, I understand how Ukrainian law issues arise in an international context — whether in due diligence, transactional risk allocation or evidentiary questions before international tribunals.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. Mandates receive direct senior attention from day one.
An analysis of the role international arbitration has played in Ukraine-related disputes — from the Crimea cases to the full-scale war — and the prospects for using arbitration to hold Russia accountable and compensate Ukrainian investors.
