- Acted for a major Russian bank in a LCIA arbitration against a Maltese holding company under an English law governed guarantee in relation to several Russian law governed loans provided to Russian subsidiaries of the Maltese guarantor.

The arbitral award has been confirmed by the commercial court of Dagestan.
- Acted for a Cypriot holding company for the Russian poultry business in a SCC arbitration seated in Stockholm launched by the former general director of the Russian subsidiary based on the not fully signed settlement deed governed by English law.
