Congratulations to Daria A. Pustilnik (J.D. ’11) on her recent promotion to Partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP where she has built a distinguished practice at the intersection of international disputes, sanctions, and complex litigation. An experienced advocate, she concentrates on high-profile contentious sanctions and trade disputes, multijurisdictional civil litigation, as well as cross-border judgment enforcement and asset recovery.
Daria regularly advises corporate clients and individuals facing enforcement actions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and global sanctions, export control, money laundering, and asset forfeiture regimes. She frequently works with agencies including the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce, the U.K.’s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, and authorities in Switzerland and the European Union, and has developed innovative strategies for “bet-the-company” U.S. litigation involving parallel proceedings in jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom, British Virgin Islands, Russian Federation, and Ukraine.
Beyond this work, she maintains an active international arbitration and asset recovery practice across leading institutions, devising creative methods to monetize high-value claims—including those involving cryptocurrency and digital assets.
During her time at FIU College of Law, Daria served on FIU Law Review and after graduating magna cum laude, served as judicial clerk for Hon. Kenneth A. Marra, and Hon. James M. Hopkins of the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida. Prior to Joining Boies Schiller Flexner, Daria was a litigator at Kobre & Kim and Shutts & Bowen.
