- We have been practising law since 2003.
- We render legal assistance to domestic and international companies, and to individuals working in the Russian market.
- Our lawyers are recognised legal experts who have drafted a considerable number of bills on the reform of criminal law and criminal proceedings. These include the federal law adopted into the Russian legal system in late 2015 which entitles detained persons to place telephone calls, or the Russian equivalent of one of the legal guarantees of the American Miranda rule.
- We have developed a training course on combating corporate raiding, approved by the Russian Investigative Committee.
- Our clients’ assets which are held by Pen & Paper are valued at several billion dollars.
of our employees are graduates of the Law Faculty of St. Petersburg University (the first university of Russia founded in 1724). However, this does not mean that we have a direct relationship with the current or the previous Russian president, both of whom graduated from the same Law Faculty.
the company’s senior partner, Konstantin Dobrynin, accepted the post of Deputy Chair of the Federal Council Committee for Constitutional Legislation and State Construction. Nevertheless, he can still defend the people’s interests in the Senate.
We have conducted 10 cases out of 569 on a pro bono basis. We could, of course, have emphasised the figure 569, but we are genuinely proud of these ten cases.
