Apart from providing legal services to Czech- and English-speaking clients, Natalija as a Russian native speaker is co-responsible for the coordination of our law firm’s Russian advisory group, providing comprehensive legal services to Russian-speaking clients and also to Czech clients entering or already doing business in the markets in Russian-speaking countries, including strategic investments, formation and management of joint ventures, delivery of industrial facilities, performance of contracts and dispute resolution in these countries.
