+7 (905) 374-41-76

Commercial disputes and tax audits often determine whether a business survives. A missed deadline or a poorly prepared position can cost millions. We represent clients in arbitration courts at every level and build a defence based on documents, practice and a clear procedural strategy.

We handle disputes worth tens and hundreds of millions of rubles: tax assessments, contractual claims, corporate conflicts, bankruptcy of counterparties. Our approach — dismantle the opponent's position point by point, not simply deny the claim.

Where we add the most value

A team that has been defending business interests in Russian commercial courts since 2012.

Tax assessments

We challenge additional assessments, fines and decisions of tax authorities at the pre-trial and court stages.

Inspections support

We support on-site and desk inspections: prepare documents, accompany every interaction with inspectors.

Contract disputes

We recover debts, challenge penalties, handle disputes over quality, delays and termination of contracts.

Corporate conflicts

We represent shareholders and directors in disputes around control, dividends and corporate decisions.

All court levels

From first-instance commercial courts to the Supreme Court of Russia, including cassation and supervisory review.

Enforcement support

We do not stop at a judgment: we support enforcement, work with bailiffs, search for assets.

Как мы работаем

  1. 01 Case analysis We study the documents, the opponent's position and the applicable court practice. We define the prospects honestly.
  2. 02 Position We prepare a legal position, evidence base and procedural strategy — including pre-trial negotiations.
  3. 03 Litigation We represent you in every court instance, working with experts, witnesses and interim measures.
  4. 04 Enforcement We secure actual recovery: from receiving the writ of execution to working with bailiffs and searching for assets.
Winning an arbitration or tax dispute is not about a loud courtroom argument. It is about a position built on documents that the other side simply cannot refute.

Частые вопросы

  • How much does a tax dispute cost?
    It depends on the amount in dispute, the stage of the case and the required scope of work. We discuss the fee at the first meeting and fix it in the agreement. For tax disputes, success-fee formats are also possible.
  • Do you work with clients outside Kazan?
    Yes. We handle cases across Russia — traveling to courts or participating via video conference. Documents are exchanged electronically.
  • How long does arbitration usually take?
    First instance typically takes 3 to 6 months. Complex disputes with multiple instances can last 12–18 months. We inform the client about the realistic timeline at the start.
  • Can you represent us during a tax inspection?
    Yes. We accompany inspections from start to finish: preparing documents, attending interviews and responding to the inspector's requests. This often prevents additional assessments altogether.
  • What if we have already lost in first instance?
    We analyse the appellate prospects. Many cases are won in cassation. We look for procedural violations and gaps in the opponent's evidence.
