According to the company’s 2008 materials, he was the lawyer for the Media Development and Regulatory Advisory Team that Albany deployed in Iraq. In that role he “drafted codes and regulations applying to Iraqi media, drafted legal opinions designed to protect the media and public service broadcaster from government influence, drafted procedural rules for administering complaints against media, drafted media legislation for presentation to the Iraqi legislature, and advised the Iraqi interim and transitional governments on the role of independent regulators of media and telecommunications”.[1]
Before joining Albany he worked with Internews Europe in Paris (2002–2004), assisting media rights advocates in developing countries, and spent five years in private practice as an associate at the international law firm Latham & Watkins in New York and Moscow (1997–2002).[1][3] He has also advised on media law and policy issues in the United Arab Emirates and Sudan, and has advised Jordanian institutions on a media law curriculum and an annual media law and policy institute.[1]
The same CV states that he worked with a team of international experts on a regulatory and self-regulatory response to Russian propaganda in Ukraine, and that he has trained and advised government, civil society and media professionals in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and the former Yugoslavia.[3]
