Dentons expands its German Practice in Russia

Alex Stolarsky, German Attorney-at-Law from Beiten Burkhardt’s Moscow office, has joined Dentons’ German Practice in Russia. Alex’s practice areas include legal consultancy on market entries, M&A transactions, and establishment and operation of joint ventures. He is also a recognized specialist in legislation regulating foreign investments in strategic sectors in Russia. In particular, he advises national and international clients from the automotive, machine-building, pharmacological, medical and media industries on corporate law issues arising when foreign investors enter and operate in the Russian market and when Russian investors enter European markets.

Florian Schneider, Moscow Office Managing Partner and Head of Dentons’ German Practice in Russia, noted: “Alex has outstanding experience of finding effective solutions for German businesses in Russia and in Germany and his arrival will expand and strengthen our German Practice. We attend to the particular need for German-language advice in international markets by setting up German-speaking teams in almost all of our offices. The members of our German Practice Group in Russia speak our clients’ language and also know their business practices and culture to ensure the best advice for their operations in this country”.

Dentons is a global firm driven to provide a competitive edge in an increasingly complex and interconnected marketplace. It was formed in March 2013 by the combination of international law firm Salans LLP, Canadian law firm Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC) and international law firm SNR Denton. Dentons is built on the solid foundations of these three highly valued law firms. Each built an outstanding reputation and valued clientele by responding to the local, regional and national needs of a broad spectrum of clients of all sizes—individuals; entrepreneurs; small businesses and startups; local, regional and national governments and government agencies; and mid-sized and larger private and public corporations, including international and global entities. Dentons' clients now benefit from approximately 2,600 lawyers and professionals in more than 75 locations spanning 50-plus countries across Africa, Asia Pacific, Canada, Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Russia and the CIS, the UK and the US who are committed to challenge the status quo and offer creative, dynamic business and legal solutions.
