Russian words in particular mean different things in different contexts. Grammatical or lexical mistakes often cause misunderstandings which may affect court decisions.
We deal comfortably and professionally with Russian and CIS cases where the subject matter involves sensitive business and economic practices prevalent in this region. We understand the mentality pervasive in Russia and CIS which penetrates personal and business relationships and shapes attitudes towards law and legality.
Using our knowledge of the CIS world, Russian language and English law, we provide litigation support to analyse and interpret Russian court documents, bankruptcy reports, corporate and other such case materials.
Access to these skills is crucial when working with documents in Russian or proofing witnesses from this continent to properly prepare court documents for use in the English courts before English judges.
