January 2026 – Kinstellar is delighted to announce that Oleksandr Frolov, a highly regarded Dispute Resolution lawyer, has joined our Kyiv office as a Partner. His addition strengthens our growing capabilities in Ukraine and reflects our long-term commitment to supporting clients on their most complex matters in the country.
Oleksandr brings over 15 years of experience advising multinational companies, governments, state-owned enterprises, management and supervisory boards, and various public institutions. He has acted in high-value international arbitrations, as well as cross-border and domestic litigations before forums across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.
His work spans a broad range of sectors, including banking, international trade and foreign direct investment, oil and gas, and privatisation. In addition to dispute resolution, Oleksandr regularly advises on commercial matters in areas such as defence, technology, cryptocurrency, fintech, insurance and reinsurance, often on issues that may later become contentious. He also provides guidance on sanctions, white-collar crime, fraud, money laundering, bribery, and matters involving harm or damages.
Oleksandr is consistently recognised by international legal directories as a leading practitioner in dispute resolution. Clients commend him for having ‘‘a profound understanding of commonly used international arbitration venues, backed by a track record of successfully handling cross-border disputes for state authorities.’’ (Chambers Europe, 2025). In addition, in the latest edition of Legal 500, clients describe him as “very professional, very responsive. Oleksandr Frolov is excellent.”
"We are delighted to welcome Oleksandr to Kinstellar. His deep dispute-resolution expertise and strong track record in Ukraine make him an excellent addition to our team. We are committed to further developing our capabilities in Ukraine and continue to invest in building a strong, resilient practice supporting clients in this key," - Kristóf Ferenczi, Kinstellar’s Firm Managing Partner.
