I earned my degree from the MGIMO (University) Law School - Moscow State University of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, between 1988 and 1993, and hold a Master's Degree in Russian Civil, Commercial, and Private International Law. My additional educational pursuits include advanced legal studies at MGIMO University, assisting as a professor from 1993 to 1996, and advanced studies of Private International Law and International Commercial Arbitration in Europe at Uppsala University Law School, Sweden, in 1994.

My legal practice in New York, established in 2004, focuses on Russian Business Law, Russian Civil Law, Private International Law aspects, Contract Law, overseas investments, and International Litigation and Arbitration across EU countries, Russia, and other former USSR nations.
