King & Spalding has continued to expand its global footprint with the opening of an office in Moscow. While a new office for King & Spalding, our resident partners have considerable experience practicing in the Moscow market. In addition, King & Spalding has a long history of representing clients doing business in Russia and the other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries as well across a number of industries, and the Moscow office enables the firm to serve our clients doing business in the region more effectively and efficiently. Complementing a broad based transactional practice, our Moscow office offers particular expertise in the energy and natural resources, real estate, life sciences, financial services, automotive and telecommunications/media/technology industries.
As the second largest economy in Europe with over 140 million people, Russia is one of the most important and dynamic countries in the world. Our Moscow office serves our clients across a full range of legal services, including areas of mergers & acquisitions, private equity, real estate, construction, life sciences, international arbitration, intellectual property, international trade, antitrust, privacy and information security, government investigations and anti-corruption.
Our Russia practice combines Russian, U.S., English and European law advice and draws its strengths from the firm’s expertise in advising clients on cross-border transactions, disputes and investigations. The lawyers in our Russia practice, which is led out of our Moscow and London offices, integrate an understanding of international deal making, politics and cultures with sophisticated legal skills. Our lawyers have a thorough understanding of the complexities involved with Russia-related matters as well as the particular issues that face investors in Russia.
