Dmitry is a Partner at Fortior Law and a head of the Fortior’s Dubai practice.

His experience includes analysis and resolution of shortage, quality, demurrage/dispatch/detention, non-payment, non-delivery claims, and other similar claims related to contracts based on GAFTA and FOSFA pro-forma contracts, charterparties and bills of lading. Dmitry also regularly acts on behalf of parties in international arbitration.
