International Litigation
We are known for effective and successful coordination of cross-border litigation. Our practice covers over 60 jurisdictions — including the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Latvia, Cyprus, British Virgin Islands and others.
We also represent clients in matters involving recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.
Many of our lawyers hold LLM degrees from leading international universities, and our key strength is the English law practice comprising several solicitors (qualified in England & Wales).
Combining in-depth knowledge of international law, extensive experience in foreign courts and a well-developed network of local counsel, we protect clients’ interests in the most complex disputes.
In 2024, our team was ranked Tier 1 "International Litigation" in the Pravo-300 legal directory.
