Legal practice.
I operate with both foreign and Russian clients; the international side of my practice sees me acting primarily as a Russian divorce (family) lawyer where one party, or both, is a foreign national. Upon taking a case, I set out a client's alternatives under Russian law and seek to tailor an individual approach that allows them to achieve the best possible result in a timely and cost-effective fashion. I represent clients in court and before government agencies; my services also extend to property division, inheritance and related fields of law.
Academic work
The academic side of my work has always been a professional priority, allowing me to continue to improve my knowledge and skills as a practicing lawyer. The main field I have focused on is the contradictions in Russian legislation/law, which is a rather large field given the fact the Russian legal system is still in the developmental (rather than evolutionary) stage. I have authored numerous articles in both Russian specialist and popular publications and have been the recipient of several awards relating to my work in legal research. I also regularly participate in legal discussions on Russian television, particularly on Family Law, which despite its nascent stage is becoming an increasingly important facet of Russia's legal system.

Spousal property division
In a Russian divorce, the basic issue governing property division is that assets purchased during the marriage become the joint property of the husband and wife and in the event of a divorce are divided equally between the two parties. It makes no difference whether one spouse did not work at all during the marriage or both spouses worked equally for the money.
