Business defense in acute and preventive dimensions
Services are structured around real client situations rather than branches of law. The acute phase represents emergency defense. The preventive dimension involves strategic services.
Each service is accompanied by comprehensive longreads featuring statistics and court practice. This illustrates the methodology applied to each type of task.
Defense during a tax audit and threat of criminal prosecution under Article 199 of the Russian Criminal Code
Counsel engages at the tax audit stage, not after receiving the act. The core principle is truth instead of promises: accurate risk assessment, realistic chances, clear boundaries of the possible. On every case — c…
Defense of personal assets against subsidiary liability
Counsel engages during the bankruptcy process. The core principle is truth instead of promises. The chances of complete defense in a bankruptcy dispute are 39-48% — this is a lottery, not a professional strategy. A viable strateg…
Preparation and support during interrogations at the Federal Tax Service, Investigative Committee, and Ministry of Internal Affairs
An interrogation in 2025-2026 is a procedure for solidifying an already formed scenario, not a "conversation." The inspector possesses bank statements, VAT chains via ASK NDS-3, and protocols of other witnesses. The goal is to obtain p…
Business-splitting amnesty 2024-2025: safe exit and restructuring
The business-splitting amnesty (Federal Law No. 176-FZ of July 12, 2024) does not write off everything. It writes off taxes (VAT, corporate income tax), penalties, and fines under Article 122 of the Russian Tax Code — but does not cover fines on insurance premiums, which the Federal Tax Service a…
Defense of ex-directors against accusations of ruining the company and recovery of damages
Resigning from the position of director does not release one from liability. The statute of limitations under Article 53.1 of the Russian Civil Code is 3 years from the moment the participants learned of the damages, not from the moment of the transaction. A former director may…
Managed bankruptcy of a company: navigating the business out of crisis without fatal consequences
Bankruptcy is a strategic tool, not a "last resort." Whoever initiates it determines the outcome. In 2024, the Federal Tax Service initiated 24% of all corporate bankruptcies. Every fourth bankruptcy is a corrido…
Legal Blueprint: strategic audit of a beneficiary's personal risks
Legal Blueprint does not replicate a standard "tax audit" or "corporate правовая экспертиза." Standard audits look at regulations and state whether a document complies with requirements. Legal Blueprint look…

How to choose the right service?
Services are structured by the client's actual situation. Acute phase — emergency defense (tax audit, interrogation, threat of criminal proceedings). Preventive plane — strategic services (Legal Blueprint, controlled bankruptcy). If the stage is unclear, start with diagnostics through the structured intake form on the homepage.
At what stage of a tax audit is engagement most effective?
Optimally — before the field tax audit report is issued. At this stage, tax reconstruction, objections to the report, and pre-trial appeals are available. After the decision becomes effective, the range of applicable strategies narrows to judicial appeal and interim measures.
How does preventive defense differ from emergency defense?
Preventive defense (Legal Blueprint, controlled bankruptcy) addresses risk structurally before formal claims arise: restructuring controlling ties, auditing transactions, building documentation flow. Emergency defense engages when there is already an audit report, an investigator's order, or a bankruptcy petition.
How is the cost of services determined?
Pricing starts from the minimum bracket and is finalized after assessing the situation: scope of procedural actions, complexity of the evidentiary base, geography, projected duration. Minimum brackets: interrogation — from 50,000 ₽; controlled bankruptcy — from 60,000 ₽; tax audit — from 200,000 ₽; subsidiary liability — from 500,000 ₽; Legal Blueprint — from 3,000,000 ₽.
What does Legal Blueprint include?
Legal Blueprint is a strategic audit of the beneficiary's personal risks. Unlike standard tax audits or corporate правовая экспертиза, Blueprint models how defense will perform in a specific dispute with the Federal Tax Service, creditors, or investigative authorities. Includes mapping of controlling ties, asset resilience assessment, four-year scenario forecast.
Why are four academic credentials relevant to defense?
Tax and bankruptcy matters require simultaneous application of four professional perspectives. The auditor evaluates financial consequences; the accountant interprets the books; the crisis manager structures the procedure; the lawyer holds the legal position. A single integrated analysis reduces the risk of contradictions between separate specialist opinions.
How long does initial diagnostics take?
A structured intake submitted via the homepage form is processed within one business day. The result is a realistic outlook, the range of applicable strategies, and an estimate of scope and timeline. The contents of the inquiry are protected by attorney-client privilege from the moment of submission (Article 8 of Federal Law № 63-FZ).
Is defense available in criminal proceedings under Article 199 of the Criminal Code?
Yes. Defense covers the pre-investigation review stage, representation during interviews at the Investigative Committee, voluntary remediation of budget damage (Article 76.1 of the Criminal Code), and contesting the legal qualification and the amount of arrears. The objective is denial of opening a criminal case or termination at early stages of the investigation.
