Igor Margulyan is an experienced litigator who represents clients with global business interests in complex international disputes. His matters often involve parallel civil, criminal and regulatory proceedings in multiple jurisdictions, including the U.S., Europe, Russia and the broader CIS region, Cyprus, as well as key offshore jurisdictions (such as the Cayman Islands, the Cook Islands and the BVI).

Drawing on his extensive experience handling cross-border disputes, Mr. Margulyan regularly advises high-net-worth individuals on development and execution of multijurisdictional litigation strategies in high-stakes matters that involve allegations of fraud, misappropriation of assets and other misconduct. Mr. Margulyan also frequently works with high-net-worth clients and their advisors to develop strategies aimed at managing risks to their assets and business interests, such as by performing asset stress tests and clean funds analyses.

Additionally, Mr. Margulyan is experienced in counseling clients on asset tracing and asset recovery tactics in connection with enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards, both in and outside the United States. Most recently, Mr. Margulyan obtained, on behalf of a judgment creditor, an asset turnover order against a director based on evidence that said director embezzled funds from the judgment debtor. Thereafter, on appeal, Mr. Margulyan successfully argued for the affirmance of that turnover order before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The resolution of that appeal resulted in a precedent-setting decision from the Seventh Circuit concerning the ability of judgment creditors to recover assets from parties other than the judgment debtor.

Before joining Kobre & Kim, Mr. Margulyan practiced at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, where he was a member of the firm’s Complex Litigation & Dispute Resolution group and focused his practice on cross-border commercial litigation.
