OVERVIEW

Andrey Gorodissky & Partners law firm, one of Russia's leading law firms, was founded in February 1992 by practicing lawyers who for many years had been working in state foreign-trade organizations, legal departments of government ministries and research institutes in Russia and abroad. At its foundation the firm had the name "Business & Law" that in April 2000 was changed to "Andrey Gorodissky & Partners" to conform with the standards adopted in the attorney's business. All lawyers of the firm are members of the Moscow Bar Association.

Andrey Gorodissky & Partners is an independent partnership of lawyers who are engaged exclusively in professional attorney's business on the basis of the Federal Law on Attorney's Activity and Advocacy in the Russian Federation. Our lawyers have broad experience and a reputation for offering a full range of quality legal services to Russian and foreign businessmen and companies operating in various branches of industry and commerce.
