Current majors are commercial and civil litigation. My tipical client is a company or a citizen at odds with state/company. I assume cases I like. Since first stage of the recent judicial reforme I have taken a number of cases from first instance up to the new Supreme Court. I am proud of one of my recent victories there when I defended citizen's property (a restaurant) from unlawful claims of the State Prosecutor's office.

Major practice areas: since my client here was a foreign development company practice areas included: foreign investment, real estate, corporate governance and litigation. My biggest achievement on this job was that I managed to secure the client’s development project from local mafia raiders. I effectivly repelled a number of raider attacks on the land plot. I brought all those conflicts from court to negotiations room and futher to full settlement agreements. All plaintiffs ended up in hands of my client. As my responsibility was to legally supervise and support real estate project I was involved at each stage - from comforting investment tranches into Ukraine to representation of the project at local commune councils, from local prosecutors’ office to numerous court rooms.
