Boris is a paralegal in Eldwick Law’s Dispute Resolution and Sanctions department. He supports solicitors and partners with case and client management, focusing on contentious matters and sanctions compliance.
Boris has contributed through his legal research and drafting skills, assisting solicitors with the procedural and substantive aspects of cases. He provides support across client care and compliance: from onboarding, KYC, and due diligence to maintaining regular client communications and providing updates on ongoing matters.
Some highlights of his work at Eldwick include assisting in disclosure review for a breach of contract case, analysing the merits of securities litigation within a multimillion-dollar restructuring matter, and supporting in resisting a worldwide freezing injunction in a civil fraud dispute. Boris has also drafted correspondence in connection with an arbitration enforcement challenge and in opposing an interim third-party debt order. He regularly prepares pre-action protocol letters, correspondence with opposing counsel, and briefs to counsel. His experience also includes property-related disputes in probate and landlord and tenant disputes, as well as in opposing an application to register a restriction on land with HM Land Registry.
Outside of the dispute resolution practice, Boris works flexibly within the firm’s Sanctions department, under the supervision of Jenna Kruger. He has contributed to legal research and drafting for trade and financial sanctions advice and assisted in preparing submissions to OFSI and OTSI for licence applications on divestment grounds. He has particular experience with international trade regulatory compliance matters involving clients in the oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and consumer manufacturing sectors.
Originally from Armenia, Boris earned First Class Honours in History and Politics (BA, 2023) and an MSc in Russian and East European Studies (2024), both from the University of Oxford.
Fluent in Russian and Armenian, Boris contributes valuable regional insight to Eldwick’s work across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, often assisting in matters requiring communication with Russian-speaking clients. He has assisted Waleed Tahirkheli and Jenna Kruger in several matters on behalf of Kazakh state entities.
