Our team is globally trusted in the sphere of international trade and commodities, often dealing with complex maritime & shipping cases. We advise clients on deals reflecting about 30% (USD10 billion) worth of Ukrainian agricultural commodity exports. AVELLUM remains the first and the only law firm in Central and Eastern Europe engaged as speakers and coordinators of GAFTA learning courses.
The profound knowledge of English law allows us applying it in all our GAFTA, FOSFA and LMAA cases without special involvement of counsels from England.
