About us

We have been advising clients on doing business in Russia since the early 1970s.

Our Moscow practice combines the legacy offices of Norton Rose LLP and the leading Canadian law firm Macleod Dixon, which merged in January 2012. Macleod Dixon became only the second law firm worldwide to be accredited in the former Soviet Union with the opening of its Moscow office in 1991 and Norton Rose LLP was the first UK law firm to open a Moscow office in the same year.

We now have 40 lawyers, advising on a diverse range of projects and transactions. Our client base includes international and Russian corporates, financial institutions, investment funds and multinational funding agencies. We have particular strength in such industry sectors as mining, oil and gas, real estate and construction, infrastructure, financial institutions, technology, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, chemicals and retail.

Our Moscow-based lawyers are qualified in Russia, the US, UK and Greece. They speak and work in a variety of languages, including Russian, English, German, French, Swedish, Azeri, Turkish, Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, Greek, Spanish, Italian and Norwegian.
