Previously, the subscription support service mainly used by large legal entities, but in recent years has increased the number of private clients - top managers of firms, heads of government agencies, political figures and cultural figures, opting for a «family attorney».

Our clients include companies in the airline industry, IT, retail, education, energy, vehicle sales and service, and medicine.

When questions arise, the lawyer can begin to provide quality legal assistance immediately, without wasting time figuring out the situation «from scratch».

MEDIATION

Peaceful resolution of a conflict is usually the best way to resolve a dispute. If after a court ruling, it seems unlikely that productive cooperation between the disputing parties can be maintained, the parties can restore their friendship, come to an understanding, build long-term joint plans for business, child-rearing, etc., and discover new mutually beneficial solutions through the mediation procedure.

The attorneys of the Association, who have received special training in the field of mediation, will provide maximum assistance to reconciliation of the disputing parties by preparing and conducting the mediation procedure. The attorneys of the Association may act both as a representative of the disputing party and directly as a mediator - an independent person.
