Nowadays there are not so many law firms in Belarus that are able to provide quality services to support a transaction with a non-resident, whether it is M&A or purchase of IP rights. Aleinikov&Partners is considered to be a kind of “boutique” in the Belarusian legal market among the colleagues. When we imagine the “boutique” in the sphere of legal services, such features as the competence of the company, the knowledge of corporate law and the ability to solve any non-typical tasks for Belarus in the shortest terms are in the first place and company's lawyers have such competencies. Specialists of Aleinikov&Partners are not only fluent in English, but also are proficient in professional terminology. They are sociable and interesting people who will show you, how problem solving works in practice!
