How much does the first consultation cost?

The consultation is free when an engagement is signed: if you entrust the matter to us, the first meeting costs nothing. At it we go through the situation and tell you whether the matter has prospects in court, what scenarios are available and roughly what running the case will cost. This information does not constitute a public offer (art. 437(1) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Do you guarantee the outcome of a case?

No, and nobody can: the outcome of litigation is decided by the court. We are answerable for the quality of our work, for the pace and for making sure you always know what stage the matter is at. You receive our assessment of the prospects before the engagement is signed.

Who will handle my matter?

Every matter has a responsible partner. He assembles the team for the task — a litigator, a tax specialist, a valuer — and remains your point of contact until the end. Where the task requires the status of an advocate, advocates of the Kovalev, Malyutov, Tsypkalo & Partners Moscow Bar Association are brought in under a cooperation agreement.

Do you work with the regions?

Yes. We have two offices — in Moscow and Mariupol — and we run matters throughout Russia. The engagement can be signed remotely, documents are accepted electronically, and we stay in touch by telephone, messenger and e-mail.

How do the firm's lawyers and the advocates work together?

Legal review, transaction support, insolvency and representation in commercial and civil proceedings are carried out by the lawyers of Kovalev & Partners LLC under an engagement with the company. Tasks that require the status of an advocate — criminal defence, attendance at searches and interviews, an advocate's formal request — are carried out by advocates of the Kovalev, Malyutov, Tsypkalo & Partners Moscow Bar Association: the company has a cooperation agreement with the Bar Association, while the agreement on the provision of legal assistance is made by the client directly with the advocate (art. 25(1) of Federal Law No. 63-FZ of 31 May 2002 “On Advocacy and the Bar in the Russian Federation”). For you this is a single point of entry: we assemble the team.

What happens after I send an enquiry?

We read your description of the situation and come back within one working day: we ask clarifying questions and tell you what we can realistically do. We do not pass your documents or your description of the situation to anyone.

CONTACTS

Contacts

Call, write or visit — whichever suits you.

Call us: +7 499 460-63-47 info (at) kovalev.moscow

Both offices share one telephone number and one mailbox: wherever you call or write, the enquiry reaches the same team. We answer calls and letters on working days. If the matter is urgent — a search, a seizure, an expiring procedural deadline — call: we take such enquiries out of turn.

Head office

Moscow

Head office of the firm

The firm's main site. It houses the commercial litigation and corporate practices, tax disputes, transactions, valuation and audit.

From here we run matters before the Arbitrazh Court of the City of Moscow, the courts of general jurisdiction of the city and the region, and the higher instances including the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. This is also where first consultations, the intake of documents and the signing of engagements take place.

What we do here

Commercial and corporate disputes, M&A transactions, corporate reorganisation.
Insolvency of companies and individuals, subsidiary liability.
Tax audits and disputes with the Federal Tax Service, support during seizures and interviews.
Family, inheritance and housing matters for private clients.
Valuation and audit: we prepare the reports ourselves and defend them in the very proceedings they were made for.

Telephone: +7 499 460-63-47
E-mail: info (at) kovalev.moscow

Second office

Mariupol

Second office, open since 2026

The Mariupol office opened in 2026. Advocates of the Bar Association work here, and we run matters in the city and the surrounding region.

The office is also the base for the firm's charitable work. We donated computers and office equipment to Volodarsk School No. 1 named after A. D. Yakimenko, which took in more than 900 displaced people after the destruction of the city. The school is connected with the founder's family: his grandfather, Aleksey Konstantinovich Kovalev, was appointed its head teacher in 1967.

What we do here

Support of transactions and construction projects.
Registration of rights to real estate and land.
Disputes and representation before courts and public authorities.
The firm's charitable projects in the city.

Hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00–19:00

ACROSS RUSSIA

Where we work beyond the two offices

We have two offices, but we run matters throughout Russia. The firm has no representative offices in other cities — and we do not pass off partner firms or mailing addresses as such. In another region a lawyer either travels to the hearing or attends it remotely: online hearings and electronic filing are available both in the arbitrazh courts and in the courts of general jurisdiction.

What that means in practice: we take on a matter in another region if we can see how to organise it in terms of time and cost, and we say so before the engagement is signed. Travel costs, where they arise, are quoted in advance and fixed in the engagement — they will not appear later as a separate invoice.

Remotely
