About the consultant

I am a qualified lawyer with over 12 years of experience in the UK and EU, covering corporate, employment, family law, financial regulation, and EU law. I graduated with honours from the University of London with an LLB (Hons) degree and completed the Legal Practice Course. I have worked on high-value matters, including claims exceeding £500,000, advised companies on FCA and PRA licensing, and developed legal strategies for businesses. I am fluent in English, Russian, and Lithuanian, which enables me to effectively assist international clients. I also served for several years as the Chair of the Look Around Charity in the UK.
