CIS London & Partners is a specialist law firm dedicated to cross-border matters involving Russian law and the laws of the CIS region (including Belarus and Kazakhstan). We serve a distinguished circle of high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and international corporations who require more than just technical advice – they require a strategic partner who understands the nuance of culture, legacy, and geopolitical risk.
Reflecting the global nature of our clients' interests, the firm operates across two major financial hubs. While our headquarters remain in London, we have established a permanent senior management presence in Hong Kong.
With our Managing Partner now based across both jurisdictions, we provide our clients in Asia with direct access to Russian and CIS law advice, ensuring seamless coordination of cross-border matters between the UK, CIS, and Asian markets.
At the heart of our practice lies a passion for precision, cultural understanding, and legacy – values that define both our work and the lives of the clients we serve. We believe that protecting wealth is about more than assets; it is about protecting values, relationships, and reputation across generations.
We are not just lawyers; we are forensic analysts and strategic counsellors. Our clients – and the major international law firms that instruct us – value our ability to "think several steps ahead" and conduct "serious analytical work" that stands up to the scrutiny of the highest courts.
Our team comprises lawyers qualified in both the UK and the CIS, allowing us to align the strict requirements of English law with the realities of the jurisdictions where our clients' wealth was originally created.
We do not simply "advise"; we verify. From tracing source of wealth to reconstructing historic corporate timelines, we provide the factual legal basis necessary to defend reputations and secure transactions.
We act as active participants in the decision-making process, helping clients navigate the nexus between taxation, finance, law, and lifestyle.
