Nikolai Lazarev

My diverse commercial practice includes international commercial litigation, trusts and international financial structures, shareholder and joint-venture disputes, asset tracing and recovery in multi–jurisdictional, commercial and matrimonial cases, interim relief – including worldwide freezing orders, international enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards, real estate, technology and construction, international crime and fraud and international arbitration.

Prior to becoming a barrister, I gained diverse international corporate and commercial experience as a solicitor with a leading international City-based legal practice, covering emerging markets, corporate finance (including pre-IPO restructurings of multinational companies, IPOs and secondary listings, M&A and private placements), banking, infrastructure and real estate, tax (including international tax optimisation structures for multinational corporations and ultra-high net worth individuals) and general international commercial litigation.

I have advised some of the world’s largest companies and financial institutions, as well as ultra-high net worth individuals in complex, high-value and sensitive multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes.
