CV IMI-Profile
Relationships, personal or business, don't fail for lack of law; they fail for lack of straight talk. Running that talk as mediator, or representing a side within it as mediation advocate, is now the heart of my practice. Built on two decades at the sharp end of law. Civil, criminal and administrative matters, at all levels up to the Supreme and Constitutional Courts, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), and the European Court of Human Rights.
As of mid-2026, among the three active Russian-speaking IMI Certified Mediators and two IMI Certified Mediation Advocates worldwide — the only one who is both.
Real life demands advice beyond mere lawyerism. Cross-disciplinary, cross-border, and ready to go wherever circumstances require.
