B&K has an active practice in representing clients in their acquisitions and investment into Russia and vice versa – Russian clients look to us for assignments that have components in Finland.
We offer strong general transactional experience and have specialised competence in designing and implementing effective tax structures for cross-border deals.
The Russian Desk is headed by B&K partner Mika Salonen, who is widely recognised for his experience in Russian legal issues and has advised clients from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nitzny Novgorod. Several other B&K partners also have proven experience in the Russian markets.
The B&K Russian Desk extends also to the Borenius Group offices in the Baltic States, whose law offices employ several native Russian-speaking lawyers. This network enables effective Russia-related services on a wide range of assignments.
We also have well-established contacts with law firms in all major commercial centres in Russia. As the Russian legal market is diversified, there is particular need to find the right legal adviser for each assignment.
