Russian and CIS
Since 1995 our Firm has had a Russia and CIS Desk made up of a team of professionals having expertise in various branches of the law and with specific knowledge of the countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and more in general the ex-Soviet territories.
Our Russian and CIS Desk provides first-tier advice to Italian companies encountering problems in Russia or the CIS, in particular, with respect to compliance and international sanctions issues.
Our Desk is coordinated by resident partners Armando Ambrosio and partners Michelangelo Cicogna and Massimiliano Gazzo.
All members of the team speak fluently Russian and/or English.
