I work with corporates and financial institutions that have direct exposure to the Eurasian region through direct investments. This is typically working with corporate strategy and government affairs on the performance, expansion, and protection of our their international commercial activities.
I also have extensive experience working with internal and external counsel on disputes and other legal matters that either originate in the region or require a specific regional expertise.

I work throughout the Eurasian continent, from Central Europe to China. I have particular expertise on Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
