Corporate law

Corporate law practice, like no other, requires trust between the lawyer and the client. We are proud to be trusted with the most sensitive business management issues. The experience of working with foreign specialists and excellent English language skills of our lawyers allow us to advise both on the regulation of foreign investment in Russia and on the acquisition and participation of foreign companies in the capital of Russian legal entities.

For an entrepreneur, the most important thing is a well-established mechanism for the operation of his business and reliable protection of assets. For some, it is more important to have legal control over the company, for others, minimizing risks and liability is a priority. The Bureau offers services for developing a balanced corporate business structure, taking into account the individual requirements and characteristics of each client.

The Bureau's corporate practice supports its clients both in "peacetime" by supporting the current corporate activities of legal entities (including those with foreign participation), building effective management in the company, and in the event of a corporate conflict within the company or caused by unfair actions of competitors from the outside.

We support new projects entering the market by selecting the appropriate business structure for clients, drafting corporate documents and articles of association, supporting registration processes, and offering a system for managing assets and risks of newly founded companies. Therefore, the Bureau helps to put into practice the most ambitious projects. For clients who invest in a ready-made business, we render services for purchasing and selling of companies, entering into mergers and acquisitions, and further corporate restructuring of the management of companies that already belong to them.

The structuring and negotiation of corporate agreements of shareholders is within the competence of the Bureau.

The Bureau's lawyers not only provide professional advice on any issues of the Russian legislation that arise in the course of an entrepreneur's business activities, but have also successfully advised clients on investment issues, including in foreign jurisdictions, and the setting up joint ventures for many years. We cooperate with leading foreign law firms.
