A New York firm for a problem that sits in two systems

Colibry LLC was founded in New York by professionals with first-hand experience of U.S. and Russian legal administration. The work is narrow on purpose.

Colibry LLC is a New York resident. U.S. companies still have Russian legal entities — some that operate, some that were paused after 2022. Accounting, representation, and ruble payments still have to be done. If the parent hires in Russia, that engagement is under Russian law. If the parent hires us, the engagement is under New York law, in New York courts, paid in dollars.

In-country work is performed by our affiliated company: filings, director, appearance, the ruble bill, or a wind-down. That operating responsibility in Russia is ours. You receive the English file. We are not a law firm and we do not sell a “Russia strategy.”

Operating principles

One U.S. contract, one U.S. invoice
No U.S. person in the Russian transaction
Screen first, engage second
Fixed scope, English paper trail
Client names stay off the website
