Moreover, the firm is one of the best advisers for corporate law/mergers and acquisitions, and for protecting intellectual property.

For several years in a row, Pepeliaev Group has been top law firm in the reputation category of the ratings (i.e. is regarded by the legal community as having the best reputation on the market). Each of the votes cast for a particular law firm was accorded a specific weight further to which all recommended firms were then awarded points, and Pepeliaev Group scored 100 points. Law firms rated one another both overall and for each individual practice area.

The Pravo.ru-300 law firm ratings are compiled based on financial (revenues, profit) and statistical (number of employees, number of lawyers, structure of the firm’s departments) indicators as well as on the results of an analysis of large-scale and high-profile projects firms have undertaken, coverage in the mass media, and peer reviews and assessments. This year, use has also been made of the results of a survey of clients among the top 200 Russian companies and banks by revenue or capitalisation, and among divisions of foreign companies which are active in Russia. In addition, information has been drawn from the SPARK and Casebook databases containing financial reports compiled according to Russian standards, as well as from the Index of state commercial court cases, and from various other public sources. The project is carried out in association with the newspaper Vedomosti.

“We are delighted that the experts rate so highly our efforts to develop such practice areas as antimonopoly law, bankruptcy and international arbitration, allowing us to take top spot for these areas in the 2013 ratings,” states Pepeliaev Group’s managing partner Sergey Pepeliaev. “We are also grateful to the legal community, to all our fellow lawyers, for holding us in such high professional esteem. Our firm is constantly engaged in legislative drafting and in social activities, while we uphold the highest standards in the quality of our work and in client care.”
