Legal support in Russia for clients abroad
You are abroad. Your legal matter is in Russia.

When distance makes it difficult to act
Your matter in Russia cannot wait, but traveling there is not currently possible
We determine what can be handled remotely, which documents are required, and when your personal attendance is legally necessary.
You are owed money, but enforcement has stalled
The bailiff is not responding, necessary steps are not being taken, or the location of the enforcement document is unclear.
You need to deal with property in Russia
Sell, buy, gift, transfer a share, or register title without unnecessary travel to Russia.
The property is subject to an attachment or another encumbrance
The legal basis of the restriction must be reviewed and next steps coordinated with the FSSP, a notary, a court, or Rosreestr.
Two practice areas
We handle legal matters in Russia remotely
We first assess which steps a representative can take, where a power of attorney is required, and whether you need to attend in person.
01 / FSSPFor creditors and debtors
Bailiff enforcement and enforcement proceedings
We obtain the case materials, review restrictions, and prepare the necessary steps to protect the interests of a creditor or debtor.
- reviewing the case file, debt, payments, and restrictions
- applications, motions, and complaints concerning action or inaction
- representation before the FSSP and Russian courts within the agreed scope
- tracking responses and the progress of enforcement proceedings
02 / PROPERTY IN RUSSIAFor property owners and buyers
Real estate in Russia
We review the property, documents, and required form of the proposed action. We arrange representation when the applicable procedure permits the matter to proceed without your personal attendance.
- legal due diligence on the property, titleholders, and encumbrances
- drafting and reviewing transaction documents
- legal support for a sale, purchase, gift, or transfer of a share
- representation before a notary and Rosreestr where permitted
Where the two areas overlap
Attachment or restriction on registration involving real property
We review the legal basis for the restriction, cross-check the FSSP and property records, prepare the necessary filings, and, where required, coordinate with the court, notary, and Rosreestr.
How we work
We coordinate the process remotely
We communicate by email, phone, or your preferred messenger and take your time zone into account.
You send us the documents
Tell us where you are based, your preferred contact method, and briefly describe the matter in Russia.
We identify the legal route
We assess what can be handled remotely, where a power of attorney is required, and whether you must participate in person.
We agree on the scope and terms
Before work begins, we confirm the scope of services, fees, required documents, and communication arrangements.
We handle the matter in Russia
We submit documents, communicate with the relevant authorities, and provide copies and updates at key stages.
You remain in control.
We carry out the agreed legal work in Russia, while you approve documents, transaction terms, and all material decisions.
Documents signed abroad
We determine which power of attorney your matter requires
We prepare a draft with the required authority and explain how to notarize it in your country. A broad general power of attorney may not be sufficient.
Through a Russian consulate
A Russian consul may notarize a power of attorney for use in Russia. The principal will generally need to attend in person and sign before the consul.
Through a notary in your country of residence
Depending on the country, an apostille or consular legalization may be required, together with a properly certified Russian translation.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before we begin
The appropriate route depends on the country, documents, and procedure involved in Russia. We therefore begin with a brief initial assessment.
Can my matter be handled without traveling to Russia?
Many steps can be completed through a representative or electronically, but this depends on the matter, the documents, and the requirements of the relevant authority. After the initial assessment, we will explain which stages can be handled remotely and where personal attendance is mandatory.
How can I issue a power of attorney while abroad?
A power of attorney may be notarized by a Russian consulate or by a notary in your country of residence. In the latter case, an apostille or consular legalization and a certified translation may be required, depending on the country. The powers should be drafted for the specific matter.
Can a lawyer have an account or property attachment removed?
Only where there are legal grounds. The relevant order and enforcement proceedings must first be reviewed to determine whether an application to the bailiff is sufficient or whether a challenge or court proceedings are required. We do not promise removal before reviewing the documents.
Do my country of residence and citizenship matter?
Yes. The country where the power of attorney is issued, citizenship, resident or non-resident status, and special requirements applying to certain transactions may affect the documents, payments, and procedure. These factors are reviewed before work begins.
What will the services cost, and how long will the matter take?
After reviewing the matter, we will propose a scope of work and fee. We can estimate the time required for our own work, but the timing of decisions by the FSSP, courts, notaries, banks, or Rosreestr is outside our control.
