My practice focuses on international dispute resolution, with a particular emphasis on commercial and investment arbitration. Building on my extensive arbitral experience, I act in representative matters and as arbitrator.
I began my arbitration career as an associate at prominent Swedish law firms, representing clients in complex international arbitrations, predominantly related to the energy sector. I continued to gain experience in commercial and investment arbitration, working as legal counsel, and subsequently as the Deputy Secretary General at the SCC Arbitration Institute. In that role, I advised legal professionals and companies on the legal and administrative aspects of the arbitration procedure, provided expertise and represented the SCC in UNCITRAL, and engaged with Swedish and EU regulators to seek clarifications and address gaps within EU sanction programs.
I act as counsel in Swedish courts as well as in international arbitration. I am fluent in English, Swedish, and Russian, with a working knowledge of Ukrainian and Italian. I am a Swedish national and hold a Swedish Master of Laws (LL.M.) and a Swedish juris kandidat degree from Stockholm University.
I serve as a board member of the Finland Arbitration Institute, a member of the Advisory Board of the Stockholm International Hearing Center, and secretary of the executive committee of the Swedish Arbitration Association.
