About Us

Our mission

In chess as well as in life, in particular in conflicts, it is necessary to forestall and foresee what the opponent is thinking of, to understand what he wants and why he makes this or that move. The classic trick is to give up one or even more than one piece, and in return win the hand, giving checkmate.

A victory in the battle is not a victory in the war. We learned this very well for ages of legal practice. The way to solve the problem, which initially seems to be the most guaranteed, sometimes is just the same “dummy piece”.

That is why our mission is to allow for all possibilities for the best move and analyze legal "game" in each case, to lead the client to the final victory.

Like chess, our work enjoys silence and privacy. You can be sure of our discipline, we tell you little about others, and just as little will be said to others about you.

Our motto is "acta probant se ipsa", which means "actions speak louder than words".

We offer the best. Now your choice. Your move.

God is not in might but in "right"…

1000 years ago the first Russian codified set of laws "Russkaya Pravda" ("Right") appeared, created as supposed by Yaroslav the Wise, who hardly had expected the future of his creation. Having existed for several centuries in the legal field, "Pravda", changed by Law would not have gone down in history and remained in the mind as an ethical notion and moral ideal, which was violated, discrediting the courts, creating a group of "truth seekers" and supporting vivid revolutionaries with terminology in years to come.

Independent judge...

The famous Russian lawyer Anatoly Koni (1844-1927) defending the principle of judicial independence has stated that it is for this reason he wouldn’t get married. "Imagine – he said ironically,- a big apartment. The suite of rooms. Well, the wife... toilets... trips... a few children rooms. Tutors, nurseries, governess... what if you do not please the boss and you are kicked out of a warm place?...". So he has lived all his life unmarried.

More courtesy…

One in the night, returning back from protracted meetings A. Koni was arrested by a policeman and was escorted to the police station, where trying to figure out about the reasons he was why he was threatened with a night in the cold hallway... Protocol was only for the morning. "Last name?..Koni? Russian? Our lie but we will find over. Ocupation? - The Prosecutor of the Supreme court". Speechless... However, Koni calmed cops that were happy to meet with cases in the subordinate institution. "But I would like more courtesy" - he added mockingly.

Attorney Vladimir Lenin...

In 1892-1893 Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was working in Samara as assistant of attorney A. Hardin. All his clients were only poor people. As he become famous rich trader Krasikov wanted Ulyanov to defend him against claims of the farmers which he actually ripped off. Ulyanov refused. Krasikov came to his apartment to ask him personally, but Ulyanov repeated his refuse. This behavior was widely discussed as “impractical”, but Ulyanov criticized those his colleges who “have beliefs only the tip of the tongue”.

Lenin protects concurrence…

Coming back to Samara from Syzran Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) noticed the arbitrariness of trader Arefiev who, having the steamer and barge, didn’t let the boaters to make transportation across the Volga. Ulyanov applied the court but Arefiev skillfully played for time. However Ulyanov, because he promised to boaters, steadfastly and at his own expense went to the court session over 100 miles up to that time as the court condemned Arefiev and his skipper. About this case wrote newspapers and on the pier in Syzran all conversations were about it: rightly so to tyrant.

Russian writer Vladimir Bogomolov when he wrote the novel “In august of 44th” faced with the difficulties of negotiating the text of the military censorship, which required to change and clean up some events and even phrases. Having come to the next meeting, the writer took the Civil code, and read the article on the inviolability of the rights to author's work. The official was sincerely surprised and said: "But this is the Civil code, and we're military ones"... In 1974 the novel was published and received wide acclaim.

Upside down …

In 2004 one of the biggest Russian bank sued on an article in the newspaper "Kommersant" - and won. The newspaper was ordered to pay a record $ 11.4 million$ and post the rebuttal, which was printed... upside down, and the remaining 5 of the 8 lanes of the newspaper was blank. The head of the publishing house "Kommersant" said that the law does not prohibit to publish refutation upside down: "we can say that a refutation is fine, but the whole paper upside down," he commented.
