I've supported commodity trading at BGN, Mercuria Energy Trading, LME Trading, and LITASCO, drafting and negotiating high-value agreements across crude, refined products, and metals under UK, Chinese, Indonesian, and Russian law.
At LME Trading in Dubai, I built and led the Contract Desk, produced more than 1,000 contracts with zero execution delay, and reduced drafting time by 33% through standardized templates, policies, and compliance clauses. I also helped absorb 85% of a migrated Geneva trading portfolio without disruption while supervising four staff.
I advise trading and operations teams on contractual and regulatory risk, sanctions, force majeure, shipping claims, demurrage, and dispute resolution before ICC, LCIA, DIFC, and Russian courts. I use practical contract automation and e-signature workflows to keep turnaround times under eight hours.
