Legal director bolsters international expertise in dispute resolution team

Sherrards has appointed Jan Kunstyr as a legal director in its dispute resolution team, marking a further step in the firm’s growth in complex and international disputes. His arrival enhances the firm’s international capability, particularly across Central and Eastern Europe.

Kunstyr (pictured, left) brings extensive experience from the Czech Republic and is recognised for handling arbitration and court proceedings under a range of institutional rules, as well as matters before the English courts. He is known for managing disputes involving unfamiliar legal systems and cultural sensitivities, delivering ‘clear and pragmatic advice’ on sensitive commercial issues.

Paul Marmor (right), head of dispute resolution and international at Sherrards, said Kunstyr ‘brings another dimension to the firm’s international offering’, adding that his presence places the firm ‘in an area in Central Europe where few English law firms are operating’. The appointment further strengthens Sherrards’ international desks and its ability to support clients on challenging cross-border matters.
