About

Coming off of a diverse and international legal career encompassing Russia and Ukraine, Oleksandra Storozhuk’s move to Five Holdings in January 2018 began an extremely successful portion of her career that has seen her picked out for personal accolades from the Middle East industry press as one of the brightest rising stars in the region. She already has a number of highlights to look back on during her career. ‘I have had the privilege of being able to instruct several Queens Counsel, working directly under them in the course of several high profile multi-million arbitrations. In addition, my work towards offering and developing the public offer agreements at Bpm’s online marketing events and on Marketplace to replace paper contracts was rewarding as it led to a notable increase in profits to the company due to decreased costs’. An extremely driven professional, Storozhuk is keen to contribute to the expansion of the legal community by engaging enthusiastically with extra-curricular activities: ‘Since 2015, I am a Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition member in national and international rounds. I have also given lectures for students at technical sciences in Ukraine on the legal basis for how to protect their start-up companies. I strongly believe in the concept of knowledge sharing, and strive to contribute to the development of the legal communities in my home country, Ukraine, and the UAE’.
