ABOUT
Olga Sverchkova
After more than 20 years in legal practice, I do not believe in universal solutions. Every case has its own combination of facts, documents and risks. My role is to identify what the legal position is really based on, where its weaknesses lie and which steps are worth taking.
My work focuses on complex matters governed by Russian law, including criminal cases, family disputes and commercial matters. Consultations and case reviews are available remotely to clients regardless of where they are based.
I do not promise outcomes. I analyse the facts, assess the risks and give my clients a clear understanding of their legal options.

WHEN TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE
When an Independent Legal Perspective Matters
An independent review can be particularly valuable when important decisions have already been made, the current strategy raises questions or the consequences of a mistake may be significant.
1
YOUR CURRENT STRATEGY RAISES QUESTIONS
Your case is already being handled by a lawyer, but you have doubts about the chosen approach. An independent review can help identify risks, weaknesses and possible alternatives.
2
A COURT DECISION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE
You need to understand whether there are reasonable grounds for an appeal and what options may still be available.
3
THE COST OF A MISTAKE IS HIGH
The case is just beginning or new circumstances have emerged. An early assessment can help identify legal risks and possible consequences before important decisions are made.
Would You Like a Second Legal Opinion?
If you have doubts about the current strategy or a court decision has already been made, send me a brief description of the situation and tell me what stage the case has reached.
