More About

Kirill

I am deeply passionate about private law, especially corporate law — all of my academic work during my studies at HSE University and St. Petersburg State University has been devoted to this field.

My professional journey began in the insolvency sector. After gaining valuable experience, including work in related areas, I transitioned into dispute resolution. I enjoy navigating complex, high-stakes matters and value the impact that well-crafted legal arguments can have on clients’ businesses.

Outside of law, I have a strong interest in coffee culture — I’ve even taken several classes to refine my barista skills. Recently I discovered snowboarding and am fully immersed in learning the sport. When time allows, I pick up my electric guitar and attempt to master new riffs.
