Frequently asked questions
How much do your services cost?+
The fee depends on the scope and complexity of the matter. After assessing the situation, we quote a fixed amount for a specific stage of work, with no hourly billing and no extra charges along the way.
Is the first consultation paid?+
No. At the first consultation we go through the situation and give a preliminary assessment of the prospects of the case, before you decide whether to work with us.
How do you ensure client confidentiality?+
Every client agreement includes a non-disclosure clause. We discuss our matters publicly only in anonymised form.
Do you work with clients outside Russia?+
Yes. We practise in 16 jurisdictions, from Switzerland and Cyprus to Hong Kong and the UAE.
Do you guarantee the outcome of a case?+
No lawyer can lawfully guarantee the outcome of a case. We give an honest assessment of the prospects at the outset and take a matter on only when we see real grounds for success.
What documents are needed for the first meeting?+
To begin, a brief description of the situation is enough. We will specify the exact list of documents once we understand the specifics of the matter.
Can we work entirely remotely, without visiting the office?+
Yes. We handle matters across Russia and abroad. Most communication takes place by video call and messenger, and in-person meetings are not required.
How do I start working with you?+
Leave a request and a specialist in the relevant area will contact you within a working day.
In what currency are the contract and payment made?+
In roubles or a foreign currency, depending on the jurisdiction of the matter and the arrangement with the client. This is discussed individually at the consultation.
How do I know which practice suits my situation?+
You do not have to work that out yourself. Describe your situation in the request and we will pass it to the relevant partner.
