Official reference ↗Frequently asked questions
Do you handle litigation and arbitration?
Yes. We distinguish representation in Russian state commercial courts from commercial arbitration and coordinate the appropriate team.
Can a foreign judgment be enforced in Russia?
Recognition and enforcement depend on the decision, legal basis, procedural requirements and current practice. We assess these before recommending a route.
Can the dispute be settled without proceedings?
Where commercially sensible, we explore negotiation or mediation alongside protection of limitation periods, evidence and interim rights.
Who will manage our matter?
Managing Partner Maksim Korostelev coordinates the engagement and introduces the relevant specialists. We agree reporting, language and responsibilities at the outset.
Can we discuss the matter before sharing documents?
Yes. Book a confidential 30-minute introductory call. We first carry out a conflict check and agree how sensitive information will be exchanged.
