Leveling the Playing Field in Emerging & Global Markets
When your company operates across borders—particularly in Eurasia, the CIS, and emerging markets—your capital faces risk from two distinct directions: host governments and international business partners.

Whether a state abruptly alters a regulatory framework and expropriates your assets, or a multi-million-dollar joint venture collapses due to a breach of contract, relying on unfamiliar local courts is rarely a viable strategy. I help global investors and multinational corporations bypass domestic court systems entirely. Using international commercial arbitration (ICC, LCIA, SCC) and investment treaty arbitration (ICSID, UNCITRAL), I help secure your leverage, protect your assets, and drive disputes toward a favorable settlement or a binding, globally enforceable damages award.

From Harm to Global Enforcement
Phase 1: Early Assessment & Funding
Conducting rapid viability assessments for both commercial and treaty claims, and structuring the case for third-party litigation funding to remove legal spend from your balance sheet.
Phase 2: The "Trigger Letter" & Escalation
Drafting the formal letter to trigger mandatory cooling-off periods under investment treaties, if relevant, often forcing counter-parties or states to the negotiating table before formal arbitration begins.
Phase 3: Tribunal Advocacy
Leading the overarching legal strategy and litigating the merits before international tribunals, bridging the gap between Western evidentiary standards and regional business realities.
Phase 4: Asset Tracing & Enforcement
Utilizing international treaties to monetize arbitral awards, as well as rely on local specialists to trace assets and enforce arbitral awards in US Federal Courts and jurisdictions worldwide.
