Moscow
Salans partners have continually advised global businesses and financial institutions on the legal aspects of investment, trade and finance in Russia for nearly three decades. We opened the Moscow office in 1991. It has since grown to be one of the largest full service law offices in Moscow currently comprising over 170 professionals, including 18 partners.
Our Approach
Our Moscow office works closely with the lawyers in our Russian Practice Group located in St. Petersburg, Paris, London, New York, Brussels, Berlin and Frankfurt, as well as with Salans' other CIS offices in Almaty, Kyiv and Baku. Russian and expatriate lawyers and professional support staff are all fluent in Russian and English, and many are also fluent in French, German, and other languages.
We cooperate with Advocates Bureau Yug in Krasnodar and Eberg, Stepanov & Partners in Rostov-on-Don to assist companies who operate or are seeking to invest in the South of Russia. Salans also cooperates with the MKD Law Firm in Tbilisi and Stepanovski, Papakul & Partners in Minsk.
