Andriy Volkov is a co-founder of the Alliance, heads the company’s litigation practice and specializes in complex public law and administrative disputes. His professional path covers all key stages of a legal career — from legal practice and international legal projects to many years of judicial experience.

Systematic thinking, deep knowledge of procedural law and impeccable business reputation provide clients with confidence in every step of legal strategy. His experience is a multi-level understanding of how the judicial system functions from within: from decision-making logic and procedural tactics to evidence subtleties. This allows him to accurately assess the client’s position both from the representative’s side and from the court’s perspective.

He forms strategies that consider not only current law, but also judicial practice and the dynamics of specific proceedings. He works with complex cases that require deep analytics, procedural flawlessness and meet the highest standards of representation in courts.

His style — rational, restrained, structured — allows maintaining precision even in multi-factor and publicly sensitive cases.

In the past — a judge, today one of the company’s most precise legal analysts.

His experience is not just depth, but professional weight that withstands any level of load. No complex decision passes without his cold logic, procedural flawlessness and intellectual balance. He does not make mistakes in details — and this is precisely his strength.
