Dmytro Konovalenko

Senior Sanctions Lawyer

Dmytro Konovalenko is an accomplished attorney with over five years of experience specializing in defending clients against abusive INTERPOL Red Notices, extradition requests, and the misuse of international legal mechanisms. His expertise extends to sanctions law, where he skillfully protects clients from unjust actions arising from politically motivated or economically driven restrictions.

As a member of the International Bar Association, he has successfully represented clients in complex, multi-jurisdictional cases involving allegations of economic crimes, political disputes, and war crimes. Leveraging his deep understanding of INTERPOL procedures and sanctions frameworks, he ensures the safeguarding of his clients’ rights and reputations.

Dmytro Konovalenko has an impressive track record of annulling Red Notices and mitigating the consequences of sanctions misuse. Notable successes include securing the removal of a Red Notice against a Ukrainian Parliament member wrongfully accused of bribery by Belarus, and demonstrating the political abuse of INTERPOL in a case involving an Austrian businessman pursued by Russia over a commercial dispute. In both instances, his expertise in sanctions compliance and enforcement played a critical role in ensuring favorable outcomes.

Additionally, his prompt and meticulous submissions have consistently prevented unwarranted arrests. Recently, he averted the extradition of a Kenyan entrepreneur falsely accused of misconduct tied to a business dispute. His legal strategy not only led to the dismissal of the case but also resulted in the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL Files annulling the notice while the matter was under review.

With a unique ability to analyze sanctions-related cases and foresee the challenges faced by clients from Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Dmytro develops comprehensive legal arguments that protect against unlawful extradition requests and the misuse of sanctions regimes. His dedication to justice is reflected in his commitment to defending clients from the far-reaching consequences of abusive international legal measures, safeguarding their freedom, assets, and reputations.
