Our lawyers have extensive experience in the judicial settlement of disputes and conflicts in the most complicated situations.

The division of property procedure has multiple nuances and pitfalls.

There are multiple mechanisms for recovery of alimony against a bad-faith spouse. It is the experience of our lawyers that there is no such thing as a hopeless situation: even if your spouse officially has no income, it is possible to set a fixed amount of alimony.

Our lawyers will help find a compromise, elaborate the winning strategy for your specific situation, and ­– most importantly – will stand with you to the end!

However, we often offer introductory events for our prospects free of charge. Please contact us – we are always glad to meet new people.

It’s not only your employees who need some training. Businesses often face threats from the inside: have you ever thought of how family problems of one of the founders or personal financial difficulties of the CEO may ruin the business?

We are willing to provide individual training to business owners and senior management representatives. Such training normally takes place in the form of field workshops directly in your office. This is a frank conversation and in-depth advice based on the specifics of your company’s operations. What we will talk about:

How family disputes may affect the integrity of the business and what threats they create.
Subsidiary liability of the founders, CEO and the accountant.
Criminal liability of the founders and CEO: impact on the business.
Internal risk management: how to control your employees without breaching their rights.

We are willing to answer these and many other questions, as well as take note of your desires by developing an individualised programme.

A search of the office. It sounds scary, however, experience has shown that normal law-abiding entrepreneurs face it – this is the reality of doing business in our country.

Can you answer these simple questions with confidence?

Are your employees ready for people with guns wearing masks to enter your office?
Are personal searches of your employees and inspection of their belongings and cars legal?
What should be avoided at all times during an inspection or search?
What can be stored at workplaces and what should never be available at a workplace?
What documents must be provided to you and what notes must be made in the protocol?
Should you give explanations and testimony if they insist on it?

Just one hands-on workshop led by experienced lawyers is enough to equip your employees with the answers to these and many other questions.

Please remember: incorrect acts and panic by your employees during investigative procedures may cost you millions of rubles, or even your freedom.

To attain the objectives set, we use all mechanisms and instruments available to us. Having your case go public with the leading national and regional mass media often enables positive results. We consistently resort to human rights watchdogs, public ombudsmen and politicians, having thoroughly weighed up all potential risks and implications for you and your business.

Our team of lawyers includes former law enforcement officers who are well aware of the specifics of law enforcement operations. We are mainly focused on cases involving economic crimes; however, we are also willing to offer you professional assistance in other case categories. Based on a thorough analysis of each instance, irrespective of the current case stage, we offer our clients the optimum defence mechanism.

We are convinced that strong and comprehensive analytics are the key to success. A detailed and tailored analysis of each case is one of our team’s strengths. The defence strategy that we offer in your case comprises not only potential action variations, resources recommended to be engaged, and prospect analysis, but also suggested methods of securing your property if there is a risk of its seizure. We will help shield your nearest and dearest from the attention of law enforcement agencies and take due consideration of other aspects that often remain unaddressed.
