General counsel & compliance
You need a New York counterparty, a dollar invoice, and a file you can show the board and, if it comes to it, a regulator. You do not need another Moscow vendor on a ruble contract.
Home / Who we serve
Clients
Built for the GC, not for a brochure
The typical client is a U.S. parent that will not put the company on a Russian contract. You engage a New York resident. We take the in-country work. We also sit behind international counsel.
International law firms
You have the U.S. or English advice. You need someone who will actually file, sit as director, and appear at the FTS — without putting your partners into the Russian transaction.
CFOs and controllers
The subsidiary still hits the consolidation question, the tax accrual, and the “where is 1C” problem. We keep the calendar and the books reachable.
Investment banks and funds
A portfolio company that still operates, or one that froze. We will not invent a story for a listing. We will tell you whether administration or wind-down is the file.
Fit
A good file looks like this
An identified legal entity, a clear objective (keep operating / mothball / liquidate / recover the books), and a person at the parent who can sign a New York engagement letter. Sanctions screening happens before we start. After that, the work is administration.
We will not take
- SDN, blocked, or 50-percent-owned listed parties
- Work that would continue prohibited commercial operations in Russia
- Matters that require a U.S. person in a Russian transaction
- A request to park shares or hide beneficial ownership
