Markiyan Malskyy has returned to Arzinger as Partner and the firm’s new Head of the West Ukrainian Branch as well as the Co-Head of the International Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Practice.
Malskyy first joined Arzinger in 2008 and has stayed with the firm until 2022 before moving to Kochanski & Partners where he led the Ukrainian Desk.
“I am excited, enthusiastic and full of inspiration to join the team of exceptional professionals, whom I know so well,” commented Malskyy. “I firmly believe that Ukraine, as it defends its right to exist and grow, needs experienced lawyers to safeguard its interests, support its economy, increase investment, and support the rule of law.”
“We are thrilled to start 2025 with the significant news of Markiyan Malskyy's return to Arzinger as Partner,” added Managing Partner Timur Bondaryev. “Within our firm, we often joke that the saying "you can't step into the same river twice" doesn't refer to us, as we have many stories that prove otherwise. I believe Markiyan’s extensive experience will further strengthen our team and expertise in international arbitration, litigation, real estate, corporate law, infrastructure, and reconstruction projects. The return of such a mastodon as Markiyan will revitalize the West Ukrainian office and bolster our presence in a region where we have historically been market leaders. Markiyan brings tremendous energy for new achievements, and we wholeheartedly wish him and his teams continued success.”
