Irina Berenshtein

Irina Berenshtein graduated from the Odesa National Law Academy, one of Eastern Europe’s leading law universities. From the early stages of her career, she demonstrated exceptional abilities in legal analysis and an interdisciplinary approach, which allowed her to quickly reach the level of handling international cases.

Having progressed from a junior consultant to a partner, Irina established herself as a specialist capable of managing cases with a high degree of legal and reputational responsibility. She became a member of the International Bar Association (IBA) and entered professional rankings in the field of private client services.

Irina specializes in international private law, investment law, and asset protection, as well as handling compliance, sanctions, international disputes, and financial flow regulation cases.

Her practice covers cross-border projects in jurisdictions with heightened regulatory control – including the UK, UAE, Israel, Cyprus, and the USA. She possesses deep expertise in cases involving international financial institutions and law enforcement agencies, including interaction with FATF, OFAC, Interpol, and other structures.

Special attention in her work is given to ensuring client confidentiality, protection from arbitrary state interference, and strategic problem-solving in conditions of legal instability.

Irina’s work is not limited to classic legal consulting. She has participated in the development and adaptation of international legal mechanisms for asset and reputation protection, especially in the context of sanctions pressure, cyber threats, and digital footprints.

Her expertise is sought after in constructing legal frameworks that ensure the stability of private capital in cross-border jurisdictions. Irina has twice been honored with the international award “Private Client Lawyer of the Year — Eastern Europe” (2019, 2021).

Irina manages cases related to investigations of corruption charges, politically motivated requests, international sanctions, economic crimes, and conflicts of interest between jurisdictions.

Her approach combines strategic thinking, reputational risk management, and the ability to effectively build legal defense in situations where freedom, security, or the client’s capital are at stake.

At the core of her approach is respect for client privacy, legal precision, and a readiness to act proactively. Irina views legal defense not as a formality, but as a tool for freedom, restoring balance, and protecting personal autonomy.

She combines analytical rigor with sensitivity in working with clients whose interests often intersect with state policy, international sanctions, and economic wars.

Irina Berenshtein is a name backed not only by high legal qualifications but also by an impeccable reputation in the field of international support for private clients. She continues to develop a practice focused on protecting the interests of people whose legal reality does not fit into standard schemes.
