About our Russian IP team
We are a Russian IP team that helps foreign companies protect and enforce trademarks, patents and designs in Russia and the EAEU.
Today we coordinate Russian patent and trademark attorneys, litigators and customs experts, while you work with one English-speaking point of contact.
Team and structure
Our Russian IP team combines prosecution, enforcement and litigation experience. For each matter, we assemble the right mix of patent and trademark attorneys, litigators and technical experts for the work involved.

How we work with you
We usually work alongside your lead international counsel: they keep the global view, while we translate Russian specifics and handle local execution.
Certificates and professional memberships
The team’s credentials are supported by selected certificates and related professional documents.
Values and way of working
Our work is shaped by a few simple ideas that matter to in-house counsel: clarity, predictability and a realistic view of risk.
Plain language
We translate Russian IP practice into straightforward English and avoid “black box” advice – you see how conclusions are reached.
Transparent budgets
We prefer staged budgets and clear assumptions over open-ended hourly billing, especially in enforcement and disputes.
Practical recommendations
Each memo or email is built around a decision you need to make: file, settle, escalate, wait or walk away.
Track record and trust
We support companies in consumer goods, tech, industrial products and professional services, often working through their global counsel.
