Dispute resolution
Tax risks and tax authorities’ claims significantly impact business operations, and often the very existence of a business, in Russia. Russian tax laws are full of gaps and ambiguities which can adversely affect the development of your business. Moreover, the taxpayer often faces opposition from the tax authorities when claiming a tax refund, during the consideration of objections to the results of tax audits, or when appealing the unlawful decisions of tax authorities and officials.

The lawyers on our team possess unique experience in the pre-court settlement of claims, case preparation and court representation in the field of tax disputes, and to date have won 98% of their cases.
