Cross-border deals fail on details domestic lawyers rarely see: a payment stuck in a correspondent bank’s compliance, a sanctions clause that kills the contract, a governing-law choice that makes enforcement impossible. Our team supports international transactions end-to-end — contracts, payments, compliance and disputes.
What we cover
- Contracts: supply, distribution, services, licensing and JV agreements under English, Russian or neutral law; Incoterms, payment security, exit scenarios;
- Payments: workable payment routes, agent schemes, letters of credit and escrow; currency-control compliance on each side;
- Sanctions and export control: counterparty screening, goods classification, contract wording that protects both parties;
- Counterparty checks: registries, litigation and sanctions databases across jurisdictions;
- Disputes: pre-arbitration strategy, LCIA/ICC/SIAC arbitration, enforcement of awards.
How we work
Deal-by-deal or as standing external counsel for your international trade. Documents are reviewed within 24–48 hours; urgent sanctions or payment questions — same day. Describe the deal you are planning or the problem you already have — we will map the risks and the fix.
