ALUMNI Partners

ALUMNI Partners is a close-knit team with more than 25 years of experience in the Russian legal market and more than 90 lawyers. The firm provides comprehensive legal support to Russian and international clients on local and cross-border transactions and projects of any complexity. After all international law firm offices in Russia were wound down, the firm was among the first to begin operations under a new brand while retaining most of the team that represented the Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner network in Russia until April 2022, ensuring continuity for clients. The firm operates from three offices in Moscow, Almaty and Dubai.

ALUMNI Partners operates as a multiservice law firm with extensive resources and a broad repertoire of practice areas. It is widely regarded as a market leader in Russia across multiple disciplines, supported by a large team and a track record of handling complex, resource-intensive projects. Its strengths span Antitrust & Competition, Banking & Finance, Bankruptcy & Restructuring, Corporate / M&A, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Intellectual Property, International Trade, Forex & Customs, International Arbitration and Cross-border Disputes, Digital Economy and other sectors, with many practices featured by leading rankings such as The Legal 500, Chambers and Kommersant.

ALUMNI Partners places strong emphasis on client service, demonstrated by high profile representations and a broad client base. The firm has acted for major Russian and international clients in high stakes matters, such as defending VimpelCom in Russia's first-ever Eurobond disputes, reflecting its capability to handle complex cross-border matters under sanctions and market changes. With more than 550 clients and offices in Moscow, Almaty and Dubai, the firm provides seamless cross-border advice and integrated solutions to national and international clients.
