Daria is an experienced advocate who concentrates her practice on high-profile contentious sanctions and trade disputes, complex multijurisdictional civil litigation, and international judgment enforcement and asset recovery.

Daria frequently advises on enforcement actions brought by U.S. and international authorities under statutes such as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as matters involving global sanctions, trade/export controls, money laundering, and asset forfeiture. She regularly engages with key regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce, the U.K.’s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, and various authorities in Switzerland and the European Union. 

Daria has represented corporate clients in bet-the-company U.S. litigation cases and developed innovative federal and state court litigation strategies. 

Daria is experienced in handling matters involving simultaneous arbitration, bankruptcy, civil, and agency proceedings in multiple jurisdictions, such as the U.S., U.K., BVI, Russian Federation, and Ukraine. She has represented clients in the healthcare and energy industries, as well as other industries in their domestic and cross-border complex commercial litigation matters with a focus on disputes involving cross-border contracts, fraud, and misconduct.

Daria has represented clients in domestic and cross-border arbitrations under the rules of the American Health Lawyers Association, American Arbitration Association, International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the London Court of International Arbitration, and other institutions, as well as in arbitration-related litigation. She also has an active asset recovery practice where she regularly devises creative strategies to monetize high-value claims in the context of global asset recovery campaigns, including cryptocurrency and digital assets.
