Legal Services for Business in Russia
I provide legal services for business in Russia to Russian companies, entrepreneurs and foreign businesses dealing with Russian counterparties. I work with matters governed by Russian law, and the initial review and many further tasks can be handled remotely.
I start by understanding the situation, the documents and the risks, and only then recommend a course of action.In business, the most expensive legal step is often the one taken quickly in the wrong direction.

Choose the situation that best describes your problem
You do not need to know the exact legal category in advance. Choose the area that is closest to what is happening now.
Commercial disputes
Disputes arising from supply, construction, lease, services and other commercial contracts, defence against an existing claim, strategy in the Russian commercial courts and appeals against court decisions.
Debt recovery
A counterparty is not paying: review of the contract and evidence of the debt, a pre-action demand, preparation for court proceedings and further steps after judgment.
Contracts and transactions
Review and drafting of contracts, problematic clauses, proposed amendments to draft contracts, changes to existing terms, termination and assessment of contractual risks.
Corporate conflicts
Disputes between shareholders and business owners, ownership interests, corporate decisions, management issues and conflicts between business partners.
Protection of owners and directors
Claims for losses, creditor demands and personal liability of directors or controlling persons for company debts, including subsidiary liability under Russian law.
Not sure where to start?
One business problem can involve a contract, unpaid debt, litigation and personal risk for management at the same time. Briefly describe what has happened, and I will tell you which issue makes sense to address first.
How I approach a business matter
A legal question in business rarely exists separately from a commercial decision. A company can win a dispute and spend more on it than the conflict was worth, or obtain a judgment for payment only to discover that there is nothing left to enforce against. I therefore start with the documents, deadlines, actual business situation and the result the company needs before recommending a particular legal step.
Legal services for business in Russia can begin with a consultation, a strategic review or a specific legal task, depending on what the company actually needs. Many of these tasks can be handled remotely, including for foreign businesses dealing with Russian counterparties or Russian law. If the matter later requires representation at court hearings, the scope and format of that representation are agreed separately.
