When a matter spans both Russia and the United States, it requires precise application of Russian law and careful coordination of jurisdictions. As a foreign legal consultant in California, I provide expertise in Russian law, build strategies under private international law, and collaborate closely with licensed U.S. attorneys.
My practice is engaged in family and inheritance disputes involving assets across multiple jurisdictions, commercial conflicts with Russian counterparties, cross-border disputes governed by Russian law pursuant to international treaties, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judicial and arbitral decisions. I contribute where cross-border litigation or arbitration necessitates counsel on Russian law: determining applicable law and forum, substantiating Russian law, drafting arbitration and jurisdiction clauses, and facilitating cross-border settlements and transactions.
In handling matters with an international element in the United States, I am responsible for the Russian legal framework and its correct integration into U.S. proceedings. Where U.S. law is involved, matters are handled by licensed colleagues. Together, we operate as a unified team under a coordinated strategy, with clearly documented responsibilities.
