Arzinger successfully represented a client in multimillion cross-border litigation

Arzinger successfully represented a client in multimillion cross-border litigation arising from the russian blockade of Ukrainian ports.

Arzinger was a part of an international team of lawyers from the US, the UK and the Netherlands who assisted the client in a dispute under English law in the Dutch courts. The client suffered from the russian blockade of Ukrainian ports – the client's goods were stuck on the ship and could not leave the Ukrainian port.

In this case, Arzinger's team ensured extensive evidence collection in Ukraine, secured reports from reputable experts in very specific fields, and provided advice on the various issues of Ukrainian law.

The dispute worth tens of millions of US dollars was settled for the benefit of the client.

Associates Valeriia Lada, Anastasiia Kotliarchuk and our ex-paralegal Dariia Paliienko formed the core team led by Managing associate Volodymyr Nakonechnyi. Counsel Nikita Larionov and partners Andrii Pidhainyi and Maryna Sharapa provided support on specific customs and infrastructure issues Timur Bondaryev ensured general supervision of the matter.
