KOROSTELEV & PARTNERS

M&A and Joint Ventures

Structuring, negotiating and closing cross-border acquisitions and joint ventures in Russia.

We handle transactions from the first term sheet and legal due diligence to signing, regulatory approvals, closing and integration. We work with Russian and English law and coordinate foreign counsel where a transaction requires advice in other jurisdictions.

Our work covers share and asset deals, acquisition financing, warranties and indemnities, deferred consideration, management buyouts and joint venture governance. We translate the commercial agreement into documentation that can be implemented.

Frequently asked questions

When should we involve legal counsel?

Before signing binding terms or transferring funds. Early review identifies ownership, approval, tax and payment issues that may change the structure.

What information should we provide first?

Please share a short description of the objective, the parties and ownership chain, the assets involved and the intended timetable. Sensitive documents can follow after conflict checks and confidentiality arrangements.

Can you work with our advisers abroad?

Yes. We coordinate the Russian workstream with your legal, tax and financial advisers and agree responsibilities at the start.
