Gresham Legal—Egishe Dzhazoyan

Dual qualified arbitration and litigation specialist joins boutique as partner

Gresham Legal has appointed arbitration specialist Egishe Dzhazoyan as a partner, bolstering its capability in complex international disputes. He joins from King & Spalding in London, where he spent the past 13 years as a partner.

Dual-qualified in common and civil law, Dzhazoyan brings more than 25 years of experience advising and representing clients in arbitration and litigation matters across multiple jurisdictions and industries. His practice focuses on complex cross-border disputes, including enforcement challenges, and he also sits as an arbitrator.

A graduate of Cambridge University, The University of Law and Lomonosov Moscow State University, Dzhazoyan is fluent in Russian, German, French and Armenian. He has been recognised as a leading practitioner by directories including Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and Lexology Index.

Smeetesh Kakkad, managing partner of Gresham Legal, said Dzhazoyan’s ‘outstanding arbitration experience and expertise’ will bring ‘tremendous value’ to clients with ‘complex, multi-jurisdictional and cost-sensitive’ disputes. Dzhazoyan said he was impressed by the firm’s ‘ambitions, entrepreneurial spirit and the exceptional level of expertise across the firm’.
