The Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper has published the results of the second large-scale annual study "Rating of lawyers and their companies." The project involved processing over two thousand applications from law firms across the country – from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok.

Following a thorough selection process, the experts announced the best. Seven CLS lawyers ranked high in the rating, confirming high professionalism of the team:

• Vladislav Zabrodin, Managing Partner, Band 1 in Corporate Law.
• Pavel Karpunin, Partner, Head of the PPP and Project Finance practice, Band 1 in the PPP and Infrastructure Projects category.
• Elena Stepanova, Partner, Head of the Real Estate and Construction practice, Band 1 in the Real Estate and Housing category.

• Vladislav Zotov, Associate of the Corporate Law practice, Band 3 in Corporate Law.
• Ekaterina Shilovskaya, Associate of the Corporate Law practice, Band 3 in Corporate Law.

Getting into the rating is the result of recognition of the quality of work and reputation of a particular specialist. We are proud of the result we have achieved and thank everyone who trusts us with their most complex legal tasks.

The CLS team would like to thank the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper for their high appraisal! The full rating (in Russian) can be viewed here.
