About Yelena Ambartsumian

Yelena Ambartsumian combines her passion for contemporary art as a collector with her professional experience as an attorney handling high-stakes, cross-border litigation, and regulatory investigations. She enjoys counseling clients on intellectual property, privacy, litigation, and transactional matters. As an artist, Yelena appreciates analogue forms of creation and expression. But she is also passionate about understanding digital technologies and believes artificial intelligence will change our world.

Before founding AMBART LAW PLLC, Yelena’s experience includes: working as Of Counsel at Amineddoleh & Associates, LLC, an art law boutique firm, as well as working as a Senior Associate in the Litigation group of Milbank, a premier global law firm handling regulatory investigations and complex commercial litigation, and as General Counsel at ZUVIC Inc., an engineering consulting firm based in Connecticut. Her experience as a litigator in high-profile business and bet-the-company disputes informs her approach to contract drafting and avoiding potential pitfalls from the outset.
