Values

I rely on the following important principles in my practice:

Amicable resolution

I always strive for amicable resolution of the conflicts. After all, any dispute is temporary, but family and kinship relations are forever.

Interests of the Client

Serving Client’s best interests is the top priority and basis for the development of my legal strategy while handling the case

Confidentiality

All information provided to the attorney with regard to legal assistance is protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Experience and practice


I graduated with summa cum laude from the School of Law of the "Higher School of Economics" University in Moscow (civil law department). I am admitted to the St. Petersburg Bar Association (reg. No. 78/8586 in the Register of Attorneys).


I have been practicing family, inheritance and civil law for more than 10 years. Currently I hold the position of a partner at the «Sky Lawyers» Law Firm. I am admitted to practice in the courts throughout the Russian Federation.


I am a member of the International Society of Family Law. Being fluent in English I have a wide network of partner attorneys, practicing in foreign jurisdictions. Therefore I can provide my clients with necessary legal assistance in foreign law as well.
