Yuna Potomkina to lead EBA Mediation Hub in 2026

Asters is pleased to announce that Partner and Head of Alternative Dispute Resolution Yuna Potomkina has been elected to serve as Head of the EBA Mediation Hub for 2026.

Yuna has extensive experience representing clients at the pre-trial dispute resolution stage, including mediation, negotiations, drafting settlement agreements, and ADR clauses in domestic and cross-border transactions.
