Alexandre Genko-Starosselsky

Social connection:

Alexandre Genko-Starosselsky is a French lawyer admitted to the Paris Bar since June 2000 and a partner at Épron Quievy & Associés. He holds a DEA (Diploma of Advanced Studies) in Private International Law from the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, under the supervision of Professors Paul Lagarde and Pierre Mayer.

He heads the International Litigation department at EQA, which provides legal defense for leading business executives and major companies. Alongside the firm’s team, he appears before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and other courts within EU member states. His broad experience across various areas of law allows him to offer innovative and tailored solutions for clients, whether in business criminal law, commercial disputes, or arbitration.

His professional career began in Russia at the law firm Gide in Moscow, where he handled his first international arbitration cases. Upon returning to France in 2003, Alexandre Genko-Starosselsky spent a decade in intensive litigation practice, representing an international clientele before all types of courts, including the French Assize Court. He was notably entrusted with the defense of Mikhail Prokhorov, for whom he secured a dismissal in the Courchevel case in 2009.

In 2013, he returned to Moscow with his family to oversee highly complex international litigation. The most significant case during this period involved a dispute between heirs over an estate worth no less than 100 million USD, which required him to prepare legal proceedings in Switzerland, Cyprus, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Russia. He also assisted his Russian private clients with real estate transactions and the management of their assets.

Since 2022, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict has led him to find solutions enabling his clients to recover funds frozen in European banks and to seek the annulment of sanctions imposed on individuals and entities who bear no political responsibility. He also advises French companies present in Russia on issues related to sanctions.
