Interlegal has opened a representative office in London, led by Alberto Batini.
According to Interlegal, "the London office will facilitate more prompt and efficient Interlegal legal support both to Ukrainian clients in English courts and arbitrations and to British law firms with the clients in the Black and Caspian Sea basin."
Interlegal's Partner Arthur Nitsevych said: "In fact, Albero Batini not only represents Interlegal in London, but he is a voice of all the company’s clients making business in Transport, Shipping, and International Trade governed by the English law system. Both GAFTA, FOSFA, LMAA arbitration rules, and British court rules allow Interlegal experts to protect clients’ interests online. In some unique cases, our lawyers also participated directly in litigation and arbitration proceedings. However, when we found the opportunity to develop a partnership with Alberto Batini and strengthen our arbitration practice, we did not hesitate to take advantage of this step."
Alberto Batini’s key competencies include maritime law, P&I and H&M insurance, ship arrest, international arbitration, transport and logistics, and maritime cyber security.
Alberto Batini added: "I am happy to start the new wave of business cooperation with Interlegal. We have known each other since 2005. We have assisted both each other and our clients for many times. Now we are moving towards our partnership development. I moved to London while we launched the next step of our relationship. I am pleased to become Interlegal representative in London. We will create additional value for Ukrainian and European customers due to the benefits of our British-Ukrainian synergy."
