1. What is the most complex thing in the career?

Frankly speaking, one of the tough moments in my career is competition. Whether you compete with your colleague or peer firm – it is always hard-fought to leave them behind.
It is also difficult to be a frontrunner who is ready to lead the team to a distant prospect despite obstacles and resistance. Luckily, the skills of our staff are strong to overcome any forthcoming challenge and they are focused on the same idea as you are.

2. What is the proudest thing in the career?

The most satisfying thing in my career is facilitating business. No matter whether there are complicated financial transactions, M&As, litigation or just a business registration – business shall benefit from engaging lawyers. I admire solving a problem and reinstating balance between interests and justice.
The most pleasant thing in my career is developing the flow of new thinking and innovative approaches. Our Clients inevitably are the part of these innovations.
And the proudest thing in my career is the great team of talented professionals who are passionate about law and justice.

1. What is the most complex thing in the career?

Well, for sure, to be qualified and keep yourself up to date. The world with its new technologies and approaches forges ahead. And the needs of businesses go with the times. Thus, it requires strong passion to what you do to timely react to all legal changes and to keep the brain flexible to adapt to the Clients' proscpects in the changing world.

2. What is the proudest thing in the career?

Many people think that legal services is just another kind of money-production business. But for me rendering services stands first! I provide the services of the quality I would like to receive myself. I do really care of my Clients! And feel the feeback of their appreciation.
When a Client comes with new challenhing objects the key target is to focus on “how yes” instead of “why not”! Well, finding and even inventing such "yeses" is the most satisfying thing.
I very good remember my first face-to-face meeting with one of long-term corporate Clients. When he entered into the conference room he was surprised: 'You are at least 10 years younger than I though, - and then added: But it's just a compliment to your expertise.' Until now I recognize it as one of my best awards!

1. What is the most complex thing in the career?

As for me, it is litigation. The imperfection of the legislation and judicial process is a quite complex issue to solve. If you have sound reasons and true evidence you still cannot clear predict the judicial scenario. You have to day-to-day improve your skills not to capably resist the opponents counte-actions only, but to anticipate the judicial obsticles.

2. What is the proudest thing in the career?

Well, litigation too! Sometimes to come into the process you have to pass seven circles of judicial hell in a quite simple case. But it is a true pleasure to see the result and the Client's satisfaction!
And it is also very relishing to meet in a courtroom a judge who is a true "His Hohour" knowing each small piece of your cliam and evidence and conducting the process as a real guru.
