Pepeliaev, Goltsblat & Partners is the biggest full-service law firm operating in Russia today. The firm has more than 140 attorneys based in offices in Moscow and St. Petersburg and renders legal services in all spheres of Russian law throughout Russia, the CIS and also internationally. Key service offerings include: corporate/M&A, tax, legal support for foreign direct investment projects in Russia, land, real estate and construction/natural resources, commercial, litigation and arbitration, customs and exchange regulations, and intellectual property. The firm has more than 800 clients, over 60% of which are multinational corporations implementing long-term investment projects in Russia.
Being one of the first national law firms to provide comprehensive legal support for FDI projects by multinational clients in Russia (setting up industrial production, FMCG manufacturing, retail chains, etc.) and continuous postinvestment and operational support for the largest multinational companies operating in Russia, we have accumulated great practical experience based on a deep understanding of all the nuances of Russia’s legal realities, social, economic and political processes, local culture, and the mentality and expectations of investors.
Russia and CIS
We provide legal support to clients in all Russian regions both through our own sources and through a well-established network of reliable sole practitioners and local law firms. With some of them based in major industrial and agricultural centers of Russia, we have been working for more than 10 years, i.e. in Vladivostok, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Voronezh, Ryazan, Tyumen, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, etc. on a range of tasks including co-operation on all sorts of client matters. We have experience in providing legal support for projects implemented in the following Russian regions: Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Bashkiria, Voronezh, Ryazan, Yaroslavl, Volgograd, Kostroma, Kaliningrad Oblast, Rostov, etc. Over the recent years we have considerably strengthened this network and this has proved to be efficient.
Multi-jurisdictional and cross-border projects
As a Russian law firm we provide our clients with legal support not only in Russia but also in other CIS countries and abroad. Such support includes project management, coordination of integrated teams of lawyers, communication with clients, reporting and invoicing. Our clients find this ‘one contact point’ approach convenient and effective. We are well-accustomed to working with clients, and lawyers, from around the world in integrated teams, if required. A substantial part of our revenue derives from international business.
We believe that the best knowledge of the local legislation and regulations can be provided by the leading local law firms in respective jurisdictions. We started to build a network of foreign partners in major jurisdictions, including the CIS, 10 years ago and it has been continuously gaining strength and scope since that time. Now the firm has established close contacts with leading law firms in Europe and worldwide, enabling us to obtain immediate advice take and the action in all jurisdictions.
