Yuliya Luy

Yuliya is an English-qualified solicitor specialising in international arbitration and complex commercial litigation, with a particular focus on civil fraud, asset tracing and recovery, enforcement actions, and disputes in the banking and finance sector. She has extensive experience acting in high-value, cross-border disputes before the English courts and under the LCIA rules, frequently involving Eastern Europe and the CIS. Her practice often requires obtaining and defending freezing injunctions, disclosure orders, and other forms of interim relief, as well as coordinating with foreign counsel and law enforcement agencies worldwide.

She has represented banks, financial institutions, corporates, and high-net-worth individuals in some of the most high-profile fraud and enforcement cases of recent years. Her work includes unravelling sophisticated multi-jurisdictional frauds, securing judgments and arbitral awards worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and managing complex cross-border enforcement strategies across multiple jurisdictions. Yuliya’s representative experience includes obtaining an LCIA arbitration award for a Russian state-owned bank in a US$600 million fraud claim; obtaining US$60 million LCIA award for a Ukrainian owned company in relation to a contractual dispute with a Nigerian oil and gas company; and representing National Trust Bank in a US$900 million claim against its former directors and owners, a case recognised by The Lawyer as one of the “Top 20 Cases.”

Fluent in English, Russian and Ukrainian, Yuliya brings both regional insight and international expertise to her practice. This linguistic and cultural knowledge allows her to work seamlessly across borders, particularly in disputes involving Ukraine, Russia, and wider Eurasia, where she frequently collaborates with local counsel and investigators.
