Life Before Dickinson Law:
I hold an LL.M. from Penn State Law, where I was a full tuition waiver awardee and LL.M. Justice in Students’ Bar Association, and an LL.B. from Tashkent State University of Law where I appeared several times in Dean’s top 50 students list.

My interests include International commercial arbitration, corporate law and trial advocacy. I had a chance to practice law in a local top law firm where I worked with clients in a variety of industries, including the construction, technology, retail and insurance.

Research Focus:
My scholarship draws on my background and interest in international commercial arbitration and commercial law. My S.J.D. will study the delicate and long-lasting balance between cost, speed and quality in a fast-track arbitration. Specifically, my thesis will explore the origins of international commercial arbitration, the evolution of the procedure as well as to what disputes a fast-track arbitration procedure could or should be used.
