Our lawyers have represented clients in various civil and commercial court proceedings, mostly relating to tax and banking litigation. Given the slow and often difficult enforcement of court judgments in Russia, the Firm has developed an extensive and highly commended practice of mediation and out-of-court settlements.

Our lawyers’ top rank education and vast experience in law allows them to successfully practice litigation in courts of various levels. We have succeeded in Moscow and St. Petersburg arbitration courts in various civil contract cases, including investment contracts. We have also achieved success in court practice on proprietorship and land relationships. Our lawyers assist clients in court disputes regarding tax and banking legislation, as well as disputes tied to activity on the securities market.

We have solid ground in general jurisdiction court practice regarding cases on administrative offences in respect to contesting resolutions of various authority bodies. Great attention in work with clients is given to prevention of adverse consequences tied to administrative liability.

Proficiency in the English language allows our court lawyers to process cases of Russian and foreign clients in Russia and abroad. Our foreign clients who do not speak Russian have the opportunity to discuss the legal position and strategy with their court representative confidentially, without the need for a translator.

Our attorneys regularly participate in the work of international associations; actively contribute to discussion of some of the most pertinent problems in law application, formation of court practice and issues tied to cooperation of state authorities and business. Such work with associations allows our lawyers to always stay informed of the trends in court practice, legislation and business as a whole, which aids substantially in litigation work.

Participation in international legal conferences and seminars likewise gives our lawyers the opportunity to constantly monitor new trends in legislation and the practice of law.
