KIAP Managing partner, Andrey Korelskiy commented: “The necessity to set apart the practice of Family and Inheritance Law into an independent direction is due to a large number of ongoing requests from our clients with complex but very sensitive issues related to family, children, common property, business. In such matters, mediation and the ability to build the negotiation process so as not to bring the case to court are always extremely important, and if the trial is inevitable, to provide qualified assistance, taking into account the interests of all parties as much as possible. We have all necessary capabilities for this – and now, when Julia joined us, it’s time to set them into motion “.
“I am happy to lead the new practice and hope that my experience will be a good foundation for the development of a new direction. Twenty years of experience has shown me that a well-structured negotiation process can help to resolve most issues without a trial. It is great that we have a common vision in this and other important issues, which means we are seeing eye to eye with KIAP, and so we have many important tasks and interesting projects ahead, ”added attorney at law Julia Yanygina.
