Areas of professional protection

Our team combines years of experience in key areas of law. We provide strategic protection of clients' interests in the most complex legal cases.

{ 01 }

Protecting a client’s interests in court requires more than knowledge of the law. It takes practical experience of conducting cases before courts of different instances, an understanding of current case law, and the ability to build a strategy that reflects the specifics of each matter.

Categories of cases

  • Commercial cases — debt recovery, disputes under supply, works and lease contracts, corporate conflicts, disputes between members (founders) of companies, and challenges to decisions of corporate governing bodies.
  • Administrative cases — challenges to decisions, actions or omissions of state and local authorities, disputes with supervisory and licensing bodies, and defence in cases of administrative liability.
  • Civil cases — protection of property rights, disputes over contractual obligations, recovery of damages, inheritance and family disputes, and other civil-law conflicts.

What the support includes

  • Assessing the prospects of a case and shaping a defence strategy before going to court.
  • Preparing procedural documents — statements of claim, defences, appellate and cassation complaints, motions and objections.
  • Representing the client before courts of first instance, appeal and cassation.
  • Supporting enforcement proceedings after the judgment takes effect.
  • Assessing the risks and opportunities of settling the dispute before trial, where that serves the client’s interests.
  • Mediation between the parties where it is possible.

Approach to a case

Every case begins with a detailed analysis of the facts and the available evidence, and with a realistic assessment of the prospects in court — without inflated expectations, but with a clear view of the strengths and weaknesses of the client’s position. This makes it possible to form a procedural strategy based not on generic templates, but on the specific circumstances of the case and current court practice, including the practice of the Supreme Court.

This approach gives the client not only qualified protection in a particular dispute, but also an understanding of how to avoid similar risks in the future.

Legal compliance is a set of measures that keeps a company’s activities in line with current legislation, reduces the risk of administrative, financial and criminal liability, and strengthens the confidence of partners, investors and supervisory authorities.

Comprehensive legal compliance lets a business owner focus on growing the company, with confidence that its internal processes are lawful and transparent.

What the service includes

  • Compliance audit of the company’s activities — review of constitutional documents, corporate structure, the contract base and internal procedures for compliance with the law.
  • Development and implementation of internal policies — regulations, rules and procedures that govern the company’s key processes and reduce legal risk.
  • Support with licensing and permits — checking that the licences, permits and approvals required for a particular activity are in place and up to date.
  • Employment compliance — alignment of HR records, employment contracts and internal rules with labour law.
  • Financial monitoring and anti-money laundering — procedures that meet the requirements of legislation on preventing and countering the legalisation (laundering) of proceeds.
  • Personal data protection — bringing internal procedures for processing personal data into line with the law.
  • Drafting and review of contracts — preparing, analysing and aligning the company’s standard contracts with current legislation and the client’s interests.
  • Dealing with supervisory authorities — representing the company during inspections, preparing replies to requests, and challenging unlawful decisions.

Format of cooperation

Legal compliance is available both as a one-off audit with a detailed report and a list of recommendations, and as ongoing legal support of the company’s activities — with regular monitoring of changes in the law and prompt updates to internal documents.

This approach not only removes existing risks, but also prevents new ones — through systematic, rather than one-off, work on the legal compliance of the business.

Due diligence is a comprehensive legal review of a company, asset or transaction that makes it possible to assess the true state of affairs objectively before deciding to invest, buy a business, enter into a significant contract or reorganise. A thorough due diligence identifies hidden risks at the negotiation stage — when they can still be reflected in the price of the deal, the structure of the transaction, or a decision to walk away from a deal that does not match the stated terms.

What the review includes

  • Corporate review — the lawfulness of the company’s formation and activities, the powers of its governing bodies, the ownership structure and beneficial owners, and the history of changes in the membership.
  • Review of the contract base — checking key contracts for legal risks, hidden obligations, penalties, and terms on early termination or change of control.
  • Review of assets and property rights — title documents for real estate, equipment, intellectual property and other company assets; the existence of encumbrances, pledges and seizures.
  • Analysis of litigation and administrative disputes — current and potential court proceedings involving the company, enforcement proceedings, and inspections by supervisory authorities.
  • Review of permits — whether the licences, permits and approvals required for the company’s core activity are in place and valid.
  • Employment block — the state of HR records, the existence of employment disputes, and obligations to employees.
  • Identifying hidden obligations — sureties, guarantees, loans between related parties and other factors that affect the real value of the asset.

When due diligence is needed

  • Before buying a business, a share in a company or a particular asset.
  • Before bringing in an investor or a strategic partner.
  • Before a reorganisation, merger or acquisition.
  • Before entering into a long-term contract that carries significant financial liability.

Result of the work

Following the review, the client receives a structured report listing the risks identified, an assessment of how critical each one is, and practical recommendations — from adjusting the price of the deal to a list of terms worth including in the contract to protect the client’s interests.

Where needed, the results of the due diligence immediately form the basis for structuring the transaction and supporting its conclusion.
