Lucia Raimanová promoted to partner in global litigation practice

Lucia leads the firm’s arbitration practice within Central and Eastern Europe, and is based in the Bratislava office, having previously worked over a decade in London and seconded to the firm’s Hong Kong and Moscow offices.

Lucia’s extensive experience in international commercial and investment treaty arbitration spans many jurisdictions and sectors, and includes disputes arising out of various bilateral investment treaties, the Energy Charter Treaty as well as commercial contracts. She also has experience of litigation before the English and Indian courts, and sits as arbitrator.

She also regularly advises clients on structuring investments, drafting investment agreements, aspects of sovereign immunity, privileges and immunities of international organisations and other aspects of public international law such as succession of States. Lucia currently serves on the Board of the Vienna International Arbitral Centre.

Martin Magál, managing partner of A&O’s office in Bratislava, comments: “It is great to see Lucia being promoted to the Allen & Overy partnership and being the first ever female partner in our Bratislava office. Lucia is an outstanding arbitration lawyer and her promotion to partner will be very important as we continue to develop our arbitration team in the CEE region.”
