Biography
Ksenia Churakova is a legal consultant specializing in international commercial matters, cross-border transactions, and risk management. She holds a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Transborder Commercial Law and a Specialist Degree in Civil Law (equivalent to a J.D./LL.M.), complemented by advanced studies in business management and the PhD Program in Civil Law. This academic foundation enables her to design legal strategies that integrate business objectives with cross-border regulatory demands, providing precise guidance rooted in both legal and commercial expertise.
Her advisory work is centered on supporting companies operating across multiple jurisdictions, including corporate structuring, contract negotiations, intellectual property management, and regulatory compliance for international business operations. She has successfully guided European companies entering the US market and US businesses expanding into Europe, ensuring compliance while reducing approval timelines and facilitating international growth.
Ksenia also has extensive experience in consulting in the field of construction and infrastructure, having provided legal oversight for multi-million dollar projects including international sports venues, cultural institutions, and large-scale commercial development. Her work encompassed contract structuring, procurement and tender procedures, regulatory compliance, and coordination with hundreds of contractors through all phases of construction. This deep understanding of the delivery and execution of works, from initial contract drafting through commissioning and completion, provides her with the technical foundation essential for effective dispute resolution. She achieved successful outcomes in all major construction litigation cases, independently managing high-value disputes through complete legal processes, including procedural strategy, court advocacy, and appellate proceedings, in authorized jurisdictions. With years of courtroom experience, she contributes a practical perspective on construction dispute dynamics, now informing her consulting and advisory work. Her dispute expertise covers contract interpretation conflicts, delay and disruption claims, variation and payment disputes, defects and quality issues, as well as complex multi-party construction disputes.
