Introduction

Hopefully, this site would be useful to you and we would cooperate to our mutual interest.

My idea, which impelled me to make my site in English as well, was to help foreigners solve their legal problems connected with Russia one way or the other. Most times turning for legal help to International law firms is not convenient: whether because of high costs or because of the limited time at one's disposal. Common fact, International law firms not only spend your money at incredible speed, but they also need quite a time to process your issue and help with it. If first might not be a problem to someone, the second might indeed fray your nerves and even be decisive at times.

What I have to offer is a reasonable price for the high quality (because if I take your issue or case then it means I really can handle it at a high level, if I can not do that at my best, then I just will resign it). What is more, I provide prompt, urgent legal services, including translation of the legal texts, at comparatively low rates.

The idea of the latter was suggested when several foreign companies turned to me asking if I can make a translation of their Complaints filed with WIPO Center and National Arbitration Forum concerning domain name disputes. As far as you probably may know, the Complainant has only 5 days to translate his Complaint in order to meet the requirements of the UDRP procedure. 5 days is quite a short period to meet a deadline. Usually, I can handle alike orders within 24-48 hours. Read more on (urgent) translation of legal texts.
