Firestone Duncan is committed to providing high quality fully integrated legal and tax services to its clients. A significant part of Firestone Duncan's practice involves undertaking legal and tax due diligence reviews for foreign companies that are making Russian acquisitions or launching Russian ventures, structuring such acquisitions and ventures, and setting up and maintaining special purpose investment vehicles for purchasing restricted shares and for making direct investments. We do considerable amounts of work relating to registration and licensing of legal entities.

Firestone Duncan maintains a strong litigation team and is particularly strong in the areas of Russian tax and securities litigation. Several of Firestone Duncan’s professionals have been trained to give expert testimony in the UK courts regarding matters of Russian law and have participated in international arbitration cases in various European forums. Most of the firm’s clients are foreign companies or foreign law firms which subcontract us. For this reason we are very experienced in understanding the needs of western firms and we have structured our firm so that we can efficiently and professionally service these needs. All of Firestone Duncan’s attorneys and auditors are fluent in English and all of the operations of the firm and its employees are governed by western norms of professional responsibility and ethical conduct.
