Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Petr Avakyan, Nigora Avazmukhamedova and Pavel Jurayev have a very high level of knowledge, including on international legislation. As noted above, the business approach to problem-solving and informal working out of issues are especially appreciated. In complex cases, employees offer non-standard solutions to questions. As a result, the business always offered a solution to the problem.’
- ‘The team of lawyers demonstrated a high professional level. All services are provided on time and with high quality. Lawyers are not limited to just the task at hand. For example, in preparing a legal opinion on the work scheme that we presented, the firm’s lawyers, in addition to analyzing the scheme, proposed an alternative scheme, which we can choose or amend the initial one.’
