Shutts & Bowen LLP is proud to announce that Miami partner Aleksey Shtivelman has been awarded Board Certification in International Litigation & Arbitration by The Florida Bar. This prestigious designation recognizes Aleksey as an expert in the field and reflects his substantial experience and peer recognition in navigating cross-border disputes.
As of 2025, only 31 attorneys statewide hold this distinction, Aleksey is the only native Russian speaker among them, and the sole recipient of this certification this year, making it one of the most selective and advanced certifications offered by The Florida Bar. Board certification is the highest level of evaluation of competency and professionalism by The Florida Bar and signifies special knowledge, skills and proficiency in a specific area of law.
Aleksey, a partner in the firm’s International Litigation & Arbitration Practice Group, fluent in both Russian and Spanish, has successfully resolved high-stakes legal disputes for foreign and domestic clients doing business in jurisdictions across the globe including the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
“I am honored to achieve Board Certification in International Litigation & Arbitration,” said Aleksey. “This certification is a personal milestone, but more importantly, it reflects the depth and focus of our international litigation and arbitration practice at Shutts. We are routinely trusted with high-stakes, cross-border matters involving sovereigns, multinationals, and complex international legal issues – and this recognition underscores the strategic value we bring to clients navigating those global challenges.”
